PRIEST’s satirical style contrasts playful and innocent imagery with dark, subversive subject matters. His compositions are bright and colorful, combining nostalgic cartoons, video games and street art in a tongue-in-cheek critique of capitalism and corporate culture. Toys also feature heavily in PRIEST’s practice, the word doubling as a derogatory term for inexperienced painters in the graffiti scene while emphasizing the element of play that’s central to his approach. In his words, each project is a ridiculous idea taken much further than it should have been in the first place.

PRIEST’s work was first shown publicly in 2019. His second appearance came in 2022, as part of Beyond the Streets at London’s Saatchi Gallery, a group exhibition with a large international audience. The show marked a turning point in his career, bringing both visibility and serious collector attention.

Whether through immersive installations, large scale street art, or bold paintings that balance absurd humor with sharp critique, PRIEST’s unique ability to blend dark humor with cultural nostalgia continues to captivate audiences. With a growing global presence, PRIEST has established himself firmly as one of the leading figures in the next generation of contemporary street art.
