About the Artist and Art
Sickboy, Love Supreme, signed and dated SICKBOY200SIX oil on canvas stretched over redwood frame 76 x 50 cm is a unique one off Gallery piece.
Sickboy is the name of a street artist from Bristol, known for his temple logo and his 'Save the Youth' slogan. Sickboy moved to London in 2007 and his street art became prevalent particularly in the East End boroughs of Shoreditch and Tower Hamlets. It is claimed Sickboy was one of the first UK graffiti artists to use a logo instead of a 'tag'.
Sickboy originally trained in fine art and, as well as painting graffiti on the street, he also paints on canvas and exhibits conventionally in art galleries.
Together with legendary street artist Paul Insect the two have created a number of published works.
He has been painting street art since circa 1995. In recent years Sickboy has become known for painting his 'temple' logo on wheelie bins, which can then be worth up to £50,000.
Numerous key galleries and museums such as Kolly Gallery, Geneva have featured Sickboy's work.
