EINE (UK)
Eine is one of London’s most prolific and original street artists who specialises in the central element of all graffiti – the form of letters. Eine shot to international fame when David Cameron presented one of his works to President Obama as a gift on his first official state visit, but is arguably more famous for ‘Alphabet Street’ – the shutters and murals he painted in his trademark colours and typography in Middlesex Street, London– described by The Times as “a street now internationally recognized as a living piece of art with direct links to The White House.”
Eine specialises in producing large scale letters on shop fronts, his bright, colourful fonts have transformed streets around the world in cities including LA, San Francisco, Mexico City, Miami, Paris, Dublin, Tokyo, Norway, Stockholm as well as his home city of London.
A participant in the world’s largest exhibition of street art so far “Art in the Streets” at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MoCA), Los Angeles, Eine was also recently invited by Amnesty International to design their 50th anniversary poster, joining other artists such as Picasso and Miro in supporting the charity through art.
Eine’s letters and words, through a considered combination of colour, placement and size, become abstract and unique works of art in their own right. From single letters to complex and wry statements Eine has left his mark worldwide, his stunning words and letters can be found on shop front shutters and walls as well as in museums and galleries in a style Eine has made striking, effective and uniquely his own.
