K-Guy joins artrepublic in articles from the artzine on artrepublic.comWe are very proud to introduce another fantastic artist to our gallery, K-Guy has been working as a street artist for many years now using a combination of styles and mediums to create relevant and thought provoking pieces that make visual comments on the way we live our lives in the 21st century. His style is difficult to pin down with many street pieces being created using a mixture of mediums. K-Guys is just as at home freehand painting as he is with stencilling and wheat pasting which allows him the envious position of being able to combine many techniques to produce work that is unique and memorable. Not satisfied with just using the streets K-Guy will often pull together found objects to montage and layer into his work and will then purposely degrade and weather the piece so that it fits more comfortably into its urban setting. 2008 saw K-Guy gain global recognition for his ‘In Loving Memory of the Boom Economy’ installation outside the Bank of England in the centre of London’s financial district. The memorial shrine gained a huge amount of media coverage in the following weeks and was featured on the BBC and ITV News at Ten, The Times, The Financial Times, Washington Post and Wall Street Journal. A lot of expectation is now on K-Guys shoulders to continue with his very impressive rise up the street art ladder and with quality work like the hand finished ‘Vandalised Belton’ signed limited edition coming out I cant wait to see what he has in store for us next.
