Szabotage
SZABOTAGE is many things. British designer, notorious street artist, and a recognized, highly prolific, contemporary artist. SZABOTAGE relocated to Hong Kong and found fame in the local and international art world. Since then, he has exhibited internationally in sold-out solo shows, and worked on numerous collaborative, commercial, and private projects. He is distinguished as the first artist in Hong Kong to list NFTs.
He has now returned home to the UK. SZABOTAGE began with the spray can and branched out into innumerable forms of media. The artist’s work celebrates the diversity of his inspirations and media formats throughout his collections.
SZABOTAGE is best recognised by his signature Koi fish - an iconic symbol of strength, adversity and good fortune which features frequently throughout his work. He has mastered a visual language through the development of layered stencils, which has become his distinctive style. His classic stencil work is spiced with humour, wordplay, and iconic cultural references. Having started his career in architecture, he continues to demonstrate this passion through his Urban Observations collection where he paints towns and cities en plein air to capture the hustle and bustle of where he is.
En plein air, "Torquay Harbour" is an expressive artwork by Szabotage, created live amidst the vibrant atmosphere of the town. Known for his street art murals and background as an architect, Szabotage brings together his urban observations in this piece.
Using spray paint and markers as his mediums, Szabotage captures the essence of Torquay with bold colors, dynamic strokes, and intricate details. The artwork reflects his personal experience of the town, as he immerses himself in its vibe, capturing the sounds, smells, and engaging in conversations to connect with the people and the surroundings.
