Imon Boy
Imon Boy (b. 1991) lives and works in Málaga, Spain—the city where he is from. Despite his discrete and solitary nature, the artist's true identity remains an enigma by choice. He purposefully maintains this aura of anonymity to emphasize his relatability, stating, "Behind Imon Boy, there exists a person much like yourself." Imon Boy's creative works actively deconstruct the typical, testosterone-fueled stereotype often associated with graffiti artists. Instead, his art conveys a tender and ironic perspective on the act of illicit street painting, weaving an unexpected narrative rich with 'fails' in encounters with law enforcement and the inclusion of romantic messages meant for his concealed love interest. Drawing inspiration from the cultural milieu of the 1990s, Imon Boy's creative palette is infused with elements from video games, movies, the internet, music, and the experiences of his journeys. His works are full of bright and colorful detail which, influenced by pop and graffiti, evoke in the observer a sense of playfulness to take life less seriously by. His works have been exhibited at galleries in Chicago, London, Los Angeles, Madrid, and Zürich, among other cities.
