BIOG:

Stylistically influenced by his involvement from an early age with Graffiti culture, his works reflect the spontaneity and immediacy of this practice, embracing informal forms of expressivity and appropriating its language of activism. Earlier works addressed the competing forces of nature versus technology, taking the form of hand painted large scale stickers, posters and paintings of natural life forms which sometimes appeared on the streets of London; these works were a way of nature usurping and reclaiming these city scapes, which were once its home. Maurice’s latest works continue his investigation of these ideas and have included large format prints comprising of Maurice’s photography with drawing and digital additions, wall and canvas paintings, collage, and large scale fabric and cardboard sculptures. Recent solo exhibitions have explored the conflicting notions of darkness and light, scientific progress and nonsensical consumerism and the beginnings and ends of life. Reminders of our current state of detachment from Mother Nature, Maurice’s work ultimately reflects upon the interconnectedness of ecological, cosmic and spiritual systems.

ID-IOM New Stencil Video from Show at Metro, Clapham (London)

The ID-IOM lads have put together this video of them doing their latest stencil art at Metro, in Clapham (London). It’s a Manx cat in a tank! No Tail No Fail.

Looks great, they have a pretty unique style I reckon. Check out this previous interview World Graffiti did with them, and this other large London stencil piece from the Isle of Man artists.

“These are the top six most commonly seen chicken boxes in East London. I wanted to capture them because they are like history for me. To me they represent a piece of London in this decade.”… Joe Holbrook

“I wanted to create something which was had quite a mythical feeling to it in a traditional manor, but bring it up to date at the same. I’ve decided to paint this amazing stallion, and put it in the streets of London. The paining is on a large scale to give it the impact and overwhelm the person looking at it.”.. Joe

“This painting is set in Hackney’s ‘London Fields’. This image was stuck in my head for a while and really loved creating the piece.”.. Joe
