Nick Walker

Nick Walker, a key figure in 1980s Bristol's graffiti art movement, is known for blending freehand techniques with stenciled designs. He believes this fusion allows him to "juxtapose nearly photographic imagery with the rawness of traditional graffiti." His iconic "vandal" character, dressed in a black suit and bowler hat, reflects his use of irony and humor in his work. Additionally, Walker recreated New York's graffitied streets for Stanley Kubrick's 1999 film, Eyes Wide Shut.
