Dale Grimshaw, painter and street artist, is one of the most respected figures in the London art scene. His childhood based in a difficult and potentially violent environment greatly influenced his art. Grimshaw turned his nightmare into abstract reality through his riveting pieces. The way that the paint hits his canvas creates a violent movement. In addition, the bloody color palette he uses resembles a crime scene.
The relationship the artist has to his art changed when he ” realized that it was ok to express some of the darker emotions in [his] art. For a long time I kept a lid on all these feelings.” His honesty in his street work and paintings is an inspiration to artists to let go and use art for its therapeutic virtues.
