    SPQR

    , b. 1970

    SPQR is Bristol born artist and, as most of his fellow colleagues, he is not willing to reveal much about his life. However, what we know for certain is that he presents himself as an artisan rather than an artist, and that he is more than happy for being a part of the art world in a moment when a major shift in the perceptions of street art took place. Accordingly, SPQR went from being a vandal to be able to create in the middle of a day, without any fear of legal persecution. And not only that: a door to a traditional art world (and when we say traditional, we mean galleries) were wide open, so he began using many other mediums and genres as all styles are welcomed now – as he said, there is no intellectual snobbery which you find in the 'old' art world.
