UK street artist Pure Evil is known for exploring the dark side and wreckage of Utopian dreams, creating graphic portraits of famous pop figures - cut into stencil layers and stylized with his signature painted tear - the product of broken dreams of love and fame.

In 1990, Pure Evil left the ruins of Thatcher's Britain for a new life in California. He became a designer for the influential streetwear clothing label Anarchic Adjustment, producing clothes and screenprinting t-shirt graphics. At that time, he also was involved in the electronic music scene in San Francisco, which led him to become a recording artist for the ambient record label FAX based in Germany.

After 10 years in California, influenced by West Coast Graffiti artists such as Twist and Reminisce, Pure Evil returned to London - picked up a spray can - and started painting odd, fanged Pure Evil bunny rabbits everywhere. He fell in with the people behind Banksy's Santas Ghetto and started producing prints for Pictures on walls.

Since 2007, Pure Evil has exhibited his artwork worldwide including shows in China, Russia, Mongolia, Brazil, USA and all over Europe. He also runs his own art gallery in London, produces a monthly radio show and regularly gives workshops and participates in lectures about street art.
