Paris

BIOGRAPHY

Paris (born 8th September 1974 ) is an English artist & visual futurist who currently lives and works between London and Bristol.

Paris has a unique painting style, incorporating elements of spraypaint, futurism & mark making, moving effortlessly between the far flung future, and our distant & turbulant past.

Always an artist to break with conventions at every turn, his current mantra is "Beyond Graffiti"

Since the spring of 2011 Paris has been artist in residence for the English rock group Coldplay.

Initial sketching sessions with the band soon developed into the creation of large scale artworks, forming the catalyst for three major projects in particular, all inspired by the history of wall painting & public graffiti.

Through close collaboration with the band and designers Tappin Gofton, Paris informed and inspired much of the cover artwork for Coldplays 5th studio album Mylo Xyloto (release date October 24th 2011).

He has since decorated many of the bands instruments and stage sets for their 2011 festival tour, working closely with art director & set designer Misty Buckley.

Further to this, he and a select team of fellow artists worked with Mat Whitecross and Pulse films to produce animated graffiti sequences for the “Every teardrop is a waterfall” video
