Spray Paint, Markers, Watercolour & Fine Liner

RA is a London based multidisciplinary artist with roots in street art and hip-hop culture. In childhood he developed a profound fascination with Egyptology and ancient mysticism – sparked off in large part by a primarily Theravada Buddhist upbringing.

RA explores spirituality, human form, nature-derived patterns (fractals and mandalas in particular), interdimensional travel / cosmic energy and entomology – that is, the study of insects.

Alongside a freakish obsession with the colour purple, RA is passionate about contemporary design, fashion and photography. Preferred mediums include spray paint and markers, honed in private for years until hitting the streets and creating murals in public spaces.

You can often find RA in and around London practicing his craft on walls, or performing raps at low-key open mic nights.
