Collection: Imbue

Imbue was born in London on January 19, 1988. He spent his childhood in the Southeast England county of Kent. The artist recalls always having a creative bent, a pursuit fueled by his father. Many times his dad brought home boxes and tape from work, and the youth set to cutting them up, sticking the pieces together, and otherwise making a great mess. It also proved a lot of fun and served as an early introduction to a crude and rudimentary form of working with found objects and installations.

The artist enjoys his “inside” work, but it’s clear from interviews that he relishes the street. He finds more creative freedom in public spaces, the ability to create more openly without the consideration of what people think. Sometimes Imbue just feels like his wise-guy self and wants to bomb a billboard”that’s something he can’t achieve in any gallery.
