Imon Boy
Country
Spain
Imon Boy lives and works in Malaga, where he was born. Discreet and solitary, the artist’s identity is a mystery. A conscious choice to uphold his relatability, he explains, “behind Imon boy there is a person like you.” His designs dismantle the stereotypical testosterone-filled image of the graffiti artist and convey a tender and ironic vision of what it means to paint illegally on the street, building an unexpected discourse riddled with ‘fails’ with the police and romantic messages for his secret love. Like any child of the 90s, among his favorite references are video games, movies, the internet, music and the trips he makes.
