About HUSH:
Formally trained for five years at the Newcastle school of art and design, HUSH took to painting after years spent working as an art director in the Far East. His work translates directly from street to gallery
; recent sold-out shows include "Fatales" in London, "Unseen" at Corey Helford Gallery and "Sirens" at Metro (Melbourne).
His collaborations include a range with Burton snowboards and he was featured in The Independent, the British online newspaper's 2008 list of "Twenty Up and Coming Artists." In 2016, HUSH was commissioned by the TAO GROUP to curate and make 8 large murals for VANDAL New York Lounge, which was featured in the New York Times and Wall Street Journal with high acclaim, as well as being featured on
NBC's The Blacklist. HUSH was commissioned by the executive producer of the Starz hit mini-series Flesh and Bone to paint the mural that's prominently featured throughout the show, outside the main character Claire Robbins' Brooklyn apartment.
Born in 1976, HUSH resides and works from his hometown of Newcastle upon Tyne, northern England.
