Martin has a continuous urge to search for beauty in what is commonly dismissed as ugly, out of style or simply left behind. After following graffiti and its development, he started his own stencil production 10 years ago in the winter of 2004. While studying Art and Graphic design at Westerdals School of Communication, Oslo, he discovered stencils and the urban art scene. 1984) is a Norwegian born and based stencil artist. Go for it!!! The one thing I felt pushed me into making this a profession was taking the leap!Īrtist Background (from ) :
MARTIN WHATSON ART FULL
I will be very hard getting back to a “normal” job after working as an artist full time for as long as I have now! And I want to keep painting works outside for people to see outside of a gallery. My goal is to survive as an artist for the rest of my life. After doing just stencils for half a decade I wanted to do some more hands on with the actual painting and what’s more hands on and rough then graffiti!!? And it’s the kind of paintings I truly enjoy creating. I’m knee deep in a series where I incorporate graffiti with stencils and everyday situations or objects. I’ve tried to evolve slowly but steadily from when I did graffiti in the early 2000’s to where I am now. Sometimes its easy to get dragged into doing stuff that sells or that you get good response from. I’ve always tried to make what I like for myself. I think about it every day from when I wake up to when I go to bed!Ģ. At the moment, its my life, my hobby and my passion.
