{Stuart Semple}

Stuart Semple (b.1980) is one of the most critically and commercially successful British artists of the post YBA generation. He has been recognized by The Times, i-D, BBC, Esquire, GQ, L’Uomo Vogue, Art News, ArtForum and others. Stuart’s works can be found in the Getty, Niarchos and David Roberts collections.

In November 1999 Stuart suffered a near death experience in which he officially died caused by an unknown allergy. He survived and left hospital with a burning desire to be an artist.

During 2007’s Frieze Art Fair, a 30,000 square foot warehouse in the East End of London became ‘Fake Plastic Love’, an exhibition of gigantic billboard size paintings in an environment more like an arena rock concert than an art exhibition. The show broke the $1 Million sales mark within the first five minutes and attracted over 10,000 visitors.

Stuart is one of the most acclaimed and relevant new voices in contemporary art revered and celebrated by artists and collectors all over the world.
