Holding onto Faith proclaims Mr. StarCity’s ability to enshrine the everyday in richly textured semi-abstracts.

A portal to a scene of domestic contemplation – the edition sees a lone figure seated alongside a glass of red wine and a vase of colourful flowers. Within his practice, Mr. StarCity encourages connection and vulnerability in both the subjects of his paintings and the people who view them.

Drawing on the artist’s penchant for eclectic materials, prints have been hand-finished with soil, sand and acrylic – liberally applied with a palette knife in his New York studio.

Holding onto Faith is launched alongside a sculpture edition, The People I've Never Met.

Behind the scenes

Mr Starcity wearing a gold necklace and black hat

Mr. StarCity2 collaborationsMr. StarCity paints emotive, abstract figures in an ever-evolving practice. A self taught artist, he loves playing with eclectic materials. These include sand, soil, pumice, fabric, crayon and acrylic paint. As a result, his paintings have a thick, tactile texture. They also have a strong narrative quality. Mr. StarCity sees his art as telling stories in order to promote communal healing. He seeks to remind us of “the importance of sharing and supporting our basic human needs with the people around us.” Other works span sculpture, music and fashion. He is inspired by hip hop music and graffiti, as well as his personal experiences and encounters.
