Imbue was born in London on January 19, 1988. He spent his childhood in Kent County, in the southeast of I'Analeterre. The artist recalls always having a penchant for creation, a quest fueled by his father. Nicknamed the new Banksy, Imbue does not just write his name on walls. Provocative and transgressive, the street artist appropriates advertisements or army recruitment posters and even goes so far as to place 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, subverting religious and popular iconography to give it a new meaning.
In 2008, he installed powder sugar dispensers displaying 'cocaine' and 'heroin' on the Brighton seafront without concern, challenging the public and authorities about the drugs found at every street corner.

He has been creating artwork for more than 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.
