"People have two sides: the one we want everyone to see and the one we prefer to keep to ourselves. Paul Insect questions identity, both what we are and what we choose to be. His mixed-media works combine portraiture and abstraction with painting, printing, collage and sculpture. The figures wear hood-like masks, surrounded by energetic brushstrokes and bold graphic forms. The compositions evoke Dada and Pop Art, and make clear reference to Insect's roots as a graffiti artist. But behind the fun and playful façade lies a more pernicious sentiment - people are trapped inside the canvas, questioning themes of individual freedom and choice.op Artgraffiti art In his work, Insect critiques digital identity. Like an Instagram feed, the characters look directly at the viewer - their sense of self linked to the approval of others. What's more, the masks they wear both reveal and hide their faces, just as we choose what we share and hide online. This is reflected in Insect's choice to keep his face and personal identity secret. In this way, he mixes our projected identities with our lived identities, suggesting that it is increasingly difficult to separate them." Paul Insect's luminous, multi-textured collages feature cropped portraits, patterned colour fields, benday dots and decorative elements such as diamond dust and glitter. The UK-born and based artist, who prefers to remain anonymous, first came to prominence as a member of the 'insect' artists' collective, active between 1996 and 2005. Insect went on to great success in 2007, when Damien Hirst reportedly bought the artist's entire solo exhibition before it even opened at London's Lazarides Gallery. Hirst is not alone in his appreciation: Insect has exhibited in numerous galleries in New York and London, and his work was included in Banksy's pop-up exhibition 'Dismaland' in 2015 and Roger Gastman's touring survey of street art 'Beyond the Streets' in 2018.
