Johnman Spraycan

Like many urban artists, Johnman's true identity is a closely guarded secret. However, there is speculation by some that he may in fact be a man named John.

He likes to take old or familiar objects and breath new life into them by using them as his canvas and artistic inspiration.

This work is interspersed with occasional brightly coloured works on more conventional stretched canvases.

British born; Johnman started his journey into the urban art world with Devon’s Arts Anonymous. He now resides in Dublin.

He was a finalist in the Inaugural Stencil Art Prize in Sydney and has exhibited in numerous galleries and exhibitions, including a solo show in London's Graffik Gallery. His work has been published in both of the Upfest Urban Art Festival Books and Bizarre Magazine.

His artwork resides in private collections around the globe.
