Copyright has been daubing the streets of the UK with his trademark pink roses for years. Fusing street art, graffiti and more traditional styles, he uses a mixture of classic painting techniques and spray can art. He creates print styles with stencils, depth with spray paint, and texture with a paintbrush.
His paintings represent ideals from the modern world and culture, portrayed within classic imagery of simple beauty, often depicted by butterflies, flowers and beautiful women. His pictures represent a contradiction of idealism and unattainable visions of beauty found in fashion, music and popular culture.
"These prints came of the back of my debut USA solo show "FABLES". It's taken from an original painting I did for that show which as a whole, is an introspective look at comprehending the incomprehensible. How you rationalize things your can't pretend to understand. I've got a small, home make setup and it's very DIY, but allows me to be really hands on with the prints. I made a printing table with some wood I acquired and a couple of door hinges. I don't have a drying rack so I usually use a floor which means I can only produce 5-10 prints a day. This whole series took a couple of weeks start to finish as there is a few different process for each print."
