About the artist

Skirl is an artist who is all about texture. His work, created with a hand-cut custom paint roller, echoes organic patterns and gives a hypnotic sense of movement and calm.

Based in Vienna, Skirl's work can be found all over the world. Having used his roller to work on trains, houses, paper and basketball courts he combines the scale of a graffiti artist with his own unique, tactile approach to create visually stunning pieces that twist and flow harmoniously with his chosen backdrop.

Skirl famously works with only either blue or black paint. Having developed an incredibly recognisable style, his work is deceptively simple and comes as a result of years of refinement and practice.
