Huh? is a London-based street artist who creates typographic messages full of criticism, sarcasm and self-irony propagated on walls, billboards and surfaces in urban space. He is well-known for his practice of subvertising. Subvertising (composite of ‘subvert’ and ‘advertising’) is a political or social commentary that makes parodies of corporate advertisements and brands to convey an entirely new – often subversive – message.
With a background in graffiti, painting and stencil-art, his style is condensed and minimal,
he displays satirical comments to raise awareness about the impact of corporations and challenge assumed perspectives.
Central to his work is critiquing the extent that advertising dominates our public space. Tactically subversive, he questions the core messages being projected in public space and how they are received by society.
His work entitled “YOU ARE NOT READING THIS BILLBOARD” can be seen in the current exhibition ” Talking…& Other Banana Skins“.
