Imbue was born in London on January 19, 1988. He spent his childhood in Kent County in the southeast of Analeterre. The artist recalls always having a penchant for creation, a quest fueled by his father. Nicknamed the new Banksy, Imbue doesn’t just write his name on walls. Provocative and perverse, the street artist distorts advertisements or army recruitment posters and even goes as far as placing a villainous Snow White on the shelves of a Disney Store. Playing with symbols, he melts a Coca-Cola bottle into the body of the Virgin Mary, distorting religious and popular iconography to give it a new meaning. In 2008, he installed sugar powder dispensers displaying “cocaine” and “heroin” on Brighton’s jetty, unafraid, questioning the public and authorities about drugs found on every street corner.

He has been creating art for over 10 years and is exhibited and collected worldwide.
Imbue has been inspired by artists such as Banksy, Shepard Fairey Obey, JonOne, KAWS Seen, Banksy, JR, M. chat, Fake, Parra, Pantone Arsham, Vhils, Saraiva, Basquiat, Haring, Koons, Cattelan, Murakami, Stik, Brusk, Invader, Dface.
