Born and raised in Liverpool, Dirty Hans is a self-taught painter and illustrator who finds inspiration in pop culture and the Urban Art movement. Drawing on 1950s culture movies, pulp literature, comic books and classic movies, Dirty Hans’ art is a playful take on pop culture icons and superheroes such as Marilyn Monroe, Clint Eastwood and Spiderman.

Dirty Hans began painting as a child on anything they could find, from Etch-A-Sketch to ceral boxes. This counteracted their self-confessed hyperactive tendencies, as they found the practice calming. As an adult, Dirty Hans travelled extensively throughout Europe before settling in Antwerp, Belgium for 7 years. Whilst living there the artist refined their style, drawing inspiration from the likes of Henri Tolouse-Latrec and Roy Lichtenstein. During times of experimentation, Dirty Hans' artworks have taken up to two months to complete. Dirty Hans has exhibited work worldwide in cities including Paris, Berlin, Miami, Antwerp, and extensively across the UK.
