Mannequin
Signed, spray paint and liquid leaf pen on reclaimed shop mannequin, 63cm by 39cm
Tom Bingle, aka Inkie, has emerged as one of the most prolific graffiti writers in UK history, working accross fashion, jewellery, design and the visual arts. He received international recognition following his infamous role in the 1989 UK police raid 'Operation Anderson'. Noted as the largest UK graffiti bust, Inkie was identified as the 'Kingpin' and was arrested along with 72 other graffiti writers. Inkie's work is characterised by a unique collaboration of graffiti and figurative imagery. His widely recognised style draws on Art Nouveau influences with an unmistakable urban twist; portraits of beautiful women are usually accompanied by poignant words or phrases; faces are understated, almost anime, and are framed with his iconic stylised flowing hair.
