PAUL INSECT

(UK)

Paul Insect is a street artist, who is most famous for his 2007 solo show Bullion exhibition at London's Art gallery, Lazarides Gallery. Damien Hirst is reported to be a fan of Insect, having purchased the show days before it opened. Insect, who also goes by the name of PINS, worked alongside well-known artist Banksy at the Cans Festival, Santas Ghetto, and on the separation wall in Palestine.

Insect is well known for his collective named 'insect' which started in 1996, and disbanded in 2005. Insect held an exhibition at a disused Sex shop in London's Kings Cross area in 2008 in partnership with Lazarides Gallery. This contained 12 bronze skulls with colour enameled bunny ears.

Seminal street artists Bäst (NYC) and Paul Insect (LDN) to this day remain anonymous - they rarely do press and never show their faces. They created a series of sculptures that they could use as head pieces for their international art installation tour for the launch of Cocurata's SS15 collection, 'Extraction'.
