Internationally renowned street artist Stikki Peaches is known for his satirical graffiti and multilayered wheat-paste prints, bursting with nostalgic pop culture references, punk symbols, and tattoo designs.
The Montreal-based artist gathers and superimposes layers of paper, old magazines, comics, fabrics, reclaimed objects, then writes, spray-paints and tattoos the works. Above: The late US Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg via Instagram
Like Banksy, the Quebec-born artist operates anonymously and has been photographed only while masked. He has left his mark around the world with his wheat-paste posters in Paris, Berlin, London, Italy, Los Angels, Toronto, Montreal and many more.
Here’s a studio visit video:
His vibrant compositions – which are also featured in galleries around the world – focus on the influential figures of his childhood, mythical characters, political leaders, and cultural icons.
Using a variety of media including collage, acrylic paint, and silkscreen, the artist’s work occupies a liminal space between the street and the gallery.
His street art is widespread
These amazing street art examples are all from the Stikki Peaches Instagram – definitely worth browsing.
