BEN EINE
LONDON // UNITED KINGDOM
Ben Eine is a London based artist and one of the most successful letterform artists in the world, regarded as a pioneer in the exploration of contemporary typography. Originally a graffiti writer, Eine started his career over 30 years ago, associating with Banksy and leaving his first tag all over London before developing his distinct typographic style. Eine began painting huge, bright and colourful letters on shutters all over East London, creating beautiful forms executed with a relentless “graffiti mentality” – painting over sixty shutters in a couple of months. These imposing and engaging, yet unattributed, anonymously-painted letters stood out from the usual tags and dubs seen on the streets. Eine’s work has caught the public’s attention and he leaves stickers everywhere he goes. We love seeing them around!
