About the ART and the ARTIST
A classic and early print from one of the most popular artists on the urban art scene.
Insect created the now iconic ‘The Kid’ artwork for San Francisco based hip hop producer DJ Shadow's 2006 for the The Outsider album.
Paul Insect 'Big Head’ is a snapshot focus on ‘The Kids’ portrait and was issued in 5 colourways. Yellow, Green, Orange, red and Blue.
This print was released by Insect and Published by Pictures On Walls (POW) in 2006.
Insect first rose to prominence as part of the “insect” artist collective street crew in London which was active between 1996 and 2005. The U.K.-born and based artist, prefers to keep his true identity anonymous.
In 2006 to 2012 Insect left the streets as new government policy criminalised street graffiti art. He and many others had direct involvement in (POW) Pictures On Walls gallery in Shoreditch.
From 2012 Paul Insect’s work evolved from street graf into bright, multi-textured collages feature cropped portraits, patterned colour fields, benday dots, and decorative elements such as diamond dust and glitter.
Insect’s next big break arrived in 2007, when Damien Hirst reportedly bought out the artist’s entire solo show before it even opened at London’s Lazarides Gallery.
Hirst is not alone in his fandom—Insect has exhibited at a number of galleries in New York and London, and his work was included in Banksy’s 2015 pop-up exhibition “Dismaland” and Roger Gastman’s 2018 traveling street art survey “Beyond the Streets.”
