Copyright
Copyright decided to study photography and video production at his local college. It was here he discovered a seemingly limitless supply of art materials he could ‘borrow’ to create his own paintings.
It was soon after he had his own eureka moment when he realised he could turn his photographs into paintings by creating stencils.
When his source of free supplies finally dried up he turned to the streets as a new free canvas. It was in this very public domain that his work began getting noticed and it wasn’t long before his first showing at a gallery.
Many years later with no formal art training or qualifications he is continuously experimenting and pushing his work forward, mixing new materials and techniques with his trademark style with the resulting paintings being as much fine art as street art. Over the last decade and a half Copyright has been invited to show his work worldwide including solo shows in London, Chicago and Tokyo.

For more than ten years, I’ve followed Copyright’s journey—through eye-catching murals that transform grey city walls into living, breathing storyboards, original spray-painted canvases that hum with energy, and limited edition prints that collectors snap up as soon as they’re released. Over that decade, I’ve watched his style evolve yet remain unmistakably his own, shaped by a deep love of graffiti culture, pop influences, and a keen awareness of the world around him.
Copyright is a uniquely gifted street and mural artist with a rare ability to balance edge and warmth, rebellion and optimism. He takes the visual language of the street and translates it into work that feels powerful and sophisticated, yet always approachable and human.
His pieces burst with bold colour, provocative characters, and a playful energy that commands attention from across the room—or across the street. Vivid palettes, unexpected juxtapositions, and expressive faces draw you closer, while subtle details and layered symbolism keep you looking. Every line feels intentional, every shade chosen to heighten emotion and spark curiosity.
Together, these elements create images that are striking, memorable, and truly beautiful—works that not only look extraordinary, but also stay with you long after you’ve walked away. Copyright’s art doesn’t just decorate a space; it changes how that space feels, leaving an imprint on the places we live, work, and gather, and on the people who experience it.
