ESPIRA

London based artist that triumphantly mixes the beauty and style of haute coutre,and historial costume with the mundane and commonplace such as shopping trollies,cigarettes,page 3 girls and kebabs, to create powerful surrealistic punk portraits. Born in the UK and raised in a strict mormon family, developed strong visual interpretations of symbolism and iconography now prevalent in his work.This self taught, underground artist creates his pieces on the computer, using his own photographs of objects and models as reference.He has spent time with the irreverent satirical cult Church of the SubGenius,was part of the notorious Mark Thomas Nazi Coke Adverts show,and has exhibited his work worldwide.
