Regarded by his graffiti and street art peers as the lowest of the low – an art school boy with no place on ‘The Street’ – Dale Grimshaw is anything but, as he disproves his naysayers and negative commentators by producing some of the most unique and inspired urban decorations since Banksy first appeared on the art world’s radar.Originating from the infamous East London scene, Grimshaw’s impressive woodcut prints and paste-ups have gained the attention of graffiti and art commentators worldwide. Formally trained as a fine art painter, Grimshaw was heavily influenced during his tuition by the New York art scene, and as a result developed his now signature graphic style.
His unique technique perfectly transitioned from canvasses to woodcut printed paste-ups, which saw him evolve in reverse to most street artists: from private galleries to public walls. Often focussing on personal or social commentary, each piece has its own clear energy and intent, distributed by his aggressive approach and fractured style that imbues each painting with its own sense of emotion and feeling.
