artist bio:
Enforce One has been practising visual art in Auckland for the past ten years and has built an impressive portfolio across many creative disciplines, with experience working as a freelance graphic designer, curator, art director and stencil artist.
He has a passion for site-specific projects, and is probably most well known for his stylized stencil works of animals that have been appearing in public spaces throughout Auckland in recent years.
His work blurs the boundaries between disciplines, relevant both on the street and in a gallery setting. He believes the distinction between ‘high’ and ‘low brow’ art is overrated.
“I like to think outside of a labeled art practice, creating art for the sake of it.”
Enforce One has a long exhibition history and has been involved in a number of high profile projects as a co-organizer and curator.
