BIO

Y-NOT
In East London Street artists such as Sick Boy, Sweet Tooth and Eines paint directly onto shop shutters, flooding the area with unique, edgy and tongue-in-cheek works that has become a definitive characteristic of the area. These pictures are spread via the web and soon draw large crowds to come and see the work before they get tagged over or destroyed. Many of these artists have transformed Brick Lane into the centre of the street art scene in London.
Y-NOT comments on this trend by merging personal influences from his fashion background with the concept of “The Shutter”, using the new Rave Shutter Sunglasses that is strewn across this area. This body of work is inspired by the forever changing characteristics of Brick Lane, which is famous for its vintage fashion boutiques, underground art scene and galleries, Bangladeshi cafes, music bars and dynamic social centres, creating a colourful cocktail of art and culture. The dynamic and ever-changing environment has always attracted creative people and street artists.
Y-NOT’s stencils and free hand work are as colourful as Brick Lane, presenting striking day glow colours coming from rave culture and a mixture of modish shapes and lines. The Lane is famous for its Sunday market which is where he finds most of his materials such as mirrors, mannequins, disposed frames and background patterns.
The artist has been living and working in The Brick Lane are for over 10 years and has thus grown and developed in close relation to the area, whose influences are evident in his art. Y-NOT has witnessed the birth of street art, with Banksy’s rise to fame and Brick Lanes evolution into the centre of London’s street art scene.
Before he made art, Y-NOT worked as a high profile fashion photographer shooting for Vogue and other magazines, he has now traded his camera for couple of spray cans and is going out into the street. He has also been working in the arts industry in various galleries for the past 5 years and has been immersed in art culture, supporting and working alongside artists such as Bob and Roberta Smith (TATE).
Y-NOT’s art is strongly intertwined with the forever mutating vibe of East London, giving it a limitless capacity to evolve and progress.
