Graffiti artist biography

•

Mr. Cenz (b. 1975) is a London-based graffiti artist. He discovered hip-hop culture and graffiti art in 1988 and began scribbling his first walls. 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 11-year-old, he has continued progressing and experimenting with his art during his Community Art study at Middlesex University London. This has led to a career as a professional graffiti artist with several solo exhibitions and high-profile commissions internationally.

His influences range from the old school graffiti artists that inspired him as a kid such as Dondi and Mode 2 to abstract expressionist painters like Paul Klee and Roger Hilto
