Dead Warhol
brooklyn-street-art-martin-whatson-dead-warhol
Martin Whatson is a young Norwegian based stencil artist. Originally studying Art and Graphic design he discovered stencils and the urban art scene, which has led into an interest in decay, both on buildings and of people and to find beauty in what is commonly dismissed as ugly. Creating something pretty out of what most people don’t even notice in daily life. This interest has helped develop his style, motives and composition.
