MR. SLY

b. 1987, uk

MR. SLY Creates bold graphic images offering a contemporary slant on 20th Century popular culture. Describing himself as an Urban Pop Artist, he is inspired by music, pop songs in particular, and every artwork is directly related to a song, an artist, or both. This relationship is highlighted by the quotations and lyrics he uses within the composition; his narrative voice is strong and his aim is always to tell a story based around those lyrics. Taking iconic figures from the past and placing them front and centre makes him feel, he says, “as if they are living in a new age.”

20 years later his work is featured in galleries across the UK, Europe and the US, and recent clients include Chelsea Football Club, L’Oreal and Redken. He has been featured widely in the media and made an impact on the celebrity circuit with Paris Hilton, David Haye and Adee Phelan amongst his collectors.
