Biography
Nicknamed "the new Banksy", Imbue doesn't just write his name on the walls. Provocative and evil spirit, the street artist hijacks advertisements or army recruitment posters and even goes so far as to introduce a naughty Snow White on the shelves of a Disney store. Playing with symbols, he melts a bottle of Coca Cola in the body of the Virgin Mary, diverting religious and popular iconography to give them a new meaning. In 2008, he installed powdered sugar vending machines by displaying “cocaine” and “heroin” on Brighton pier, without being worried, questioning the public and the authorities about the drugs found on every street corner.
