Mr Cenz

Mr Cenz has been scribbling on surfaces since 1984 when he first discovered hip-hop culture and graffiti art. He soon became obsessed with this new and exciting art form and after a few brushes with the law he decided to find ways of developing his skills legally. Since his first commissioned mural at 11yrs old he has continued progressing and experimenting with his art through college and University. This has led to a career as a professional graffiti artist with several solo shows and high profile commissions internationally. His distinctive work can now be seen all over the streets and in the galleries of the world. He is known for his unique, dynamic and expressive graffiti style, which features intricate patterns, energetic lines and vibrant colours. His work focuses on highly detailed portraiture created with a mesmerising blend of realism and surrealism. There's a sense of movement and energy, as if the emotions and thoughts of the subject are coming to life and conveying deep emotion and mystery. These futuristic and cosmic- fueled creations are painted in a freestyle and spontaneous way which display an ethereal and translucent quality. The musical influence in his work is reflected in the rhythmic and funky feel to his compositions, shapes, flows and forms. His work has been described as “surrealist graffiti art for the soul”
