C by SheOne Aerosol, acrylic, on paper.
Born James Choules in London, 1969, SHEONE has been emptying spraycans and making graffiti for over twenty years.
Sidelining the usual multicolored pictorial approach to graffiti painting, SHEONE instead focuses on the visual language of typography and the expressive possibilities of his tag (his name) as a subject by re-rendering abstracted hand drawn lettering. Data injected splats, overspray and accurate spills relay an emotional slang mapped out in a highly personal shorthand.
In recent years, he has managed to successfully translate the energy and scale of illegal street paintings into the well-lit confines of the gallery, creating site-specific installations and exhibitions while simultaneously forging a subtle invasion into the fashion world through collaboration, self-branded products and one-off pieces.
