Stephen Irving

I am an artist working in Teesside, North East England specialising in mixed media artwork inspired by colour, texture and urban art.

My work takes strong influence from the World of StreetArt and Graphic Novels as well as a fascination with the abstract and the random.

I like to experiment with my artwork trying out new techniques and methods of getting paint to canvas. I often build up backgrounds in mixed media and use what I call 'random art' before applying a specific image on top.

I have a BA (hons) in Creative Visualisation from the University of Teesside.

Most recently: 'In from the Outside' was an exhibition put on by Hartlepool Art Gallery to showcase the work of local, national and international street artists. The Exhibition consisted of work by a number of international street artists such as Banksy and Logan Hicks alongside the work of myself. The Exhibition featured as part of Hartlepools 'Street Revolution' event.
