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.
