After a decade-long campaign of street and subway wall adorning graffiti that has garnered recognition from his homeland in the UK to collaborative art exhibits in California, ROID has finally begun a push for the demanding world of fine art. At the ripe young age of 29, the emerging street artist cultivated a reputation for his own distinct style surrounding boundary-pushing innovations and uber-technical murals. Having spent much of the last decade gaining the attention of graffiti lovers and of course the transit police, ROID joined the ranks of American street art crew MSK in 2008, the same year he graduated from London’s Camberwell College of Art. Since then, the contemporary illustrator made his art world debut alongside Revok and Rime at the Known Gallery in 2011, earning himself a nod from Forbes magazine in an article on “The 30 Most Important Artists and Designers under 30.”

SICKBOY - Part of The British Street Art Leaders
A leading artist to emerge from Bristol’s graffiti scene, Sickboy’s humorous work has cemented his place in the upper echelons of the British street art movement.
Sickboy is one of the first UK artists to use a logo in place of a tag, and his red and yellow street logo known as ‘The Temple’ can be seen on walls and wheelie bins worldwide.

Sickboy has built up one of the largest bodies of
street art works in UK history and he is tipped by the leading financial
press as one of the movement’s most bankable artists. His temples,
slogans and audacious stunts – including the caged heart installation
dropped outside the Tate Modern in 2008 – have landed him global
recognition.
His work has featured in countless graffiti books and documentary
films including Banksy’s Oscar-nominated Exit Through the Gift Shop, and
in global and national TV, newspapers and magazines including BBC
London News, The Financial Times, The Independent, i-D, and many more.
