Martin Whatson "Equilibrium”

Martin Whatson (b. 1984) is a Norwegian street artist known for his fusion of stencils and graffiti. The recently completed woodcut print “Equilibrium” is a work in which a dancer, Whatson's representative motif, is expressed mainly in stencils, with graffiti such as tagging added on top of it. The contrast between the dancer expressed in a gradation of grays and the graffiti placed on them is vividly expressed through woodcut techniques. In addition, Whatson added his own hand-drawn parts to the work after it was printed, resulting in a new woodcut print work with a unique individuality.

The first lottery sale for this work ended in October 2022.
Martin Whatson (b. 1984) is a Norwegian born and based stencil artist. While studying Art and Graphic design at Westerdals School of Communication, Oslo, he discovered stencils and the urban art scene. He had been interested in Graffiti for years, following the development within street art closely. In 2004 he started his own artistic production. His artistic expression started off more political, inspired by DOLK and Banksy, but has developed into a more subtle expression. He has a cheerful, very much recognizable, and almost feminine touch. Still, his expression is very much masculine, filled with in your face-statements that represent a young and vigorous group of upcoming artists. Since his artistic debut in 2006, he has had several solo exhibitions and participated in numerous group shows.
