Biography
Urban art pioneer, educator and writer Mark Wigan has been described as Britain's foremost Pop Artist by London Weekend Television. He has been an illustrator and roving reporter for street style bible i-D Magazine, exhibited his paintings with Miles Davis and John Lennon in Japan and was commissioned by Andy Warhol to paint murals in New York in the 1980s. In 1985, the NME stated 'Paris had Toulouse Lautrec. Londons’ got WIGAN. An artist whose poser packed drawings immortalise the murky menagerie of late night London hipsterdom'. Journalist Keith Watson wrote 'Looking at these pictures is like walking into a room with a ghetto blaster cranked up high'.
A true inspiration and one of Britain’s foremost graphic artists, he is an influential academic and writer whose paintings and drawings have celebrated and chronicled the worlds of street style and Hip Hop club culture.
