Who is Nick Walker…
One of the graffiti artists who have been based in Bristol since the beginning of 1980.
In 1992, when I was asked by Juxtapose to create a work, I was looking for a new style that would surprise people and create beautiful works like photographs, I met Stencil, who has unlimited potential and can draw works of my ideals quickly.
From then on, he will be working on a new style of work that evolved the traditional graffiti style that combines freehand and stencil techniques. He is a pioneering artist who has spread "stencil art" to the world.
Biography
Born in 1969. From the beginning of 1980 to the present, he has been based in Bristol.
At the Solo Show in LA in 2008, at the Solo Show in London in the same year, it was an unprecedented show in which more than 100 people stayed in search of his work from the night before. In addition, at the Bonhams auction held after the show, his early masterpiece, "Moona Lisa", was sold at a price more than 10 times the expected price, and since then, he has made many magazine covers and media tops and joined the top artists at once.
He still has a lot of fans, receiving requests from all over the world to produce his works on streets such as New York, Los Angeles, Paris and Norway. There are many celebrities fans, and in recent years his fans, Will.I.Am of Black Eyed Peas, used his work in a music video for "I Gotta Feeling". In addition, "With You I Want to Live" at the Museum of Fort Laudedale in January 2010, it was exhibited alongside works by famous artists such as Warhol and Ryu Murakami.
