Careful shipment, tracked and insured

Imbue was born in London on January 19, 1988. He spent his childhood in Kent County, in the southeast of Analaterre. The artist recalls always having a penchant for creation, a quest nourished by his father. Nicknamed the new Banksy, Imbue does not merely write his name on walls. Provocative and subversive, the street artist hijacks advertisements or army recruitment posters and even goes so far as introducing a wicked 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, twisting religious and popular iconography to give it a new meaning. In 2008, he installed sugar-dust dispensers bearing 'cocaine' and 'heroin' on Brighton's jetty without concern, questioning the public and authorities about drugs found on every street corner.

He has been creating art for more than 10 years and is shown 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.
