Imbue plays with symbols, melting a Coca-Cola bottle into the body of the Holy Virgin and distorting the religious and popular iconography to give it a new meaning.
ARTISTA
Imbue was born in London on 19 of January in 1988. He spent his childhood in the Kentshire, in the south-east of England. He's known for his satirical paintings and for using the christian iconography. Called "the new Banksy", he doesn't believe that his art follows a recognisable pattern: usually he finds an image, a concept, a message and chooses the best way to communicate it through art.
He plays with symbols. His research reflects on faith but he doesn't try to express a particular message.
