The Typographic Art of Gary Stranger

Gary Stranger is known for typographic art that, in a manner that shocks many, is executed free-hand. The artist’s work has appeared on walls (and roads) across the globe, while he has also emerged as a force in galleries and other traditional spaces.

Jealous Gallery notes that the artist was “writing graffiti in 1996. He is now a world renowned artist, famed for his well executed typographic pieces. Over the past decade or so Gary has moved his wall paintings away from the traditional graffiti aesthetic. Having always had a passion for type and having studied in the subject, it was the inevitable conclusion to take his own work in that direction. Both his studio work and his wall paintings consist of hand drawn and painted typographic arrangements.”
