Martin Whatson "Sea Turtle"

Martin Whatson "Sea Turtle"

Martin Whatson (b. 1984) is a street artist based in Norway. The newly completed woodcut print, "Sea Turtle," features one of his iconic animal motifs primarily rendered in stencils and overlaid with graffiti elements like tagging. The contrast between the sea turtle, depicted in gray gradients, and the graffiti layered on top is vividly brought to life through woodcut printing techniques. Additionally, each print has been finished as a unique work of art, with Mr. Whatson himself adding hand-painted elements to give each piece its own individuality.

Please note that this work was hand finished by the artist after the printing process was completed.
This hand finishing process and appearance are completely unique to each work. Customers are not able to choose the specific work and we are not able to accept any exchange and cancellation because of the appearance of the hand finish.

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.
