Nick Walker
1969
Nick Walker is one of Britain’s graffiti pioneers and has been working out of Bristol for over twenty years. Walker’s work employs a good deal of wry humour, treating iconic figures with a refreshing irreverence such as his two images of the Mona Lisa and his recent print of the Houses of Parliament. He has been influenced by films like Blade Runner and the visions of 2000AD into developing his own dystopian science fiction imagery.
In 1992 he began to combine stencils with freehand work which allowed him to juxtapose almost photographic imagery with the rawness which evolved from conventional graffiti styles. Stencils introduce an impact element to his work. The appeal of stencils is that they allow him to take an image from anywhere - dissect any part of life - and recreate it on any surface. Walker tries to add an element of humour or irony to some paintings to add a little light relief to the walls.
He was originally inspired by seeing NYC graffiti pioneer Dondi and in his early street-spraying days used the tag Ego. His style has attracted widespread attention and he has created spraypaint portraits of Krust, Roni Size and Carl Cox as well as a comic strip for Roni Size's Dope Dragon label. He has also been involved with the movie industry, painting sets for the director Stanley Kubrick and for the motion picture of Judge Dredd.
