Typographic art from legendary Ben Eine

23/05/2020

Aurum Gallery is delighted to present the legendary Ben Eine as part of our collection.

Born in London, Ben Eine is one of the most successful street artists in the world and is regarded as a pioneer in the exploration of graffiti letterforms.

Originally a graffiti writer, Eine started his career over 30 years ago, painting huge, bright and colourful letters on shutters all over East London, before developing his distinct typographic style.

Eine’s distinctive letters are present across walls from London to LA, Florence to Tokyo. He continues to use street art to engage and surprise the public- most recently in 2018, he unveiled the largest street art work in the world; the ‘CREATE’ mural – a 17500 square foot artwork painted on industrial ground in East London that is visible from space.

The artist’s work is now held in the permanent collections of the V&A (London) The Museum of Modern Art (Los Angeles), Museum of Contemporary Art (San Francisco), Urban Nation Street Art Museum (Berlin), Louis Vuitton and many, many more.
