XENZ

XENZ (UK) b.1974
One of the UK’s best known and loved street artists, Xenz became a graffiti artist at the age of 14 having been inspired by its NY sub-culture origins.
Developing a unique approach to the art form over the decades that followed, working alongside some of the UK’s most respected crews, Xenz became drawn to the natural world. With his sketchbook in hand he regularly immerses himself amongst the flora and birds of Asia using his sketches and spraycan to capture the atmosphere, relationships and beauty he observes.
Xenz has exhibited worldwide, notably London, Miami, New York, Basel, Spain, New Delhi and Sydney, and his work is in numerous private and corporate collections. He has created specially commissioned murals for major companies such as Harrods and the Gansevoort Hotel and was commissioned by the BBC to paint Dr Who’s Tardis for a special episode. He is regularly invited by Banksy to take a leading role in his projects and events and currently divides his time between his London and Rome studios.
