Gary Stranger
BIOGRAPHY
Gary Stranger is a UK-based artist who started out writing graffiti in 1996. He is famed for his well-executed typographic pieces.
Over the past decade Gary has moved his wall paintings/murals away from the traditional graffiti aesthetic. His studio work and his wall paintings consist of hand-drawn and painted typographic arrangements, attempting to communicating the artist's sentiment on a his inner most thoughts and moments passions.
Gary is the co-founder (together with Pref) of Typographic Circle.
..."The cohesion between the artists that are part of this movement is a desire to make work that explores the boundaries of typographic design, within the contexts of both studio work and in-situ wall painting. The group takes the placement, attitude and quest for individual style and originality from the graffiti world and mixes it with the constraints of type-making and type-setting. Typographic Circle gives accessibility and expression of the written word to create a new aesthetic and approach".
Gary Stranger had also taken up Residency at Whistleblower Gallery during July 2018 and October 2020 here he experimented with new forms of work.
The gallery now only has limited older work by the artists and once sold we will not continue to stock his work.
