Best described as a creative jack-of-all-trades, Peepshow is a web and graphic designer, photographer, co-founder of Sideroom.com and the creative talent behind Sideroom.com Magazine. Though his move to art production has only been in recent years, he has approached it with the same raw talent and attention to detail that has earned him a solid reputation for quality work in all other aspects of his creative career.

His background in graphic design is clearly evident in his aesthetically driven pieces, which lack the pretension of more conceptually focused work. His subject matter is often political and addresses contemporary issues, but he presents it without pretension or confrontation, and with a humour that makes it appealing to a wide range of audiences.

Peepshow transforms his intricate designs into technically impressive multi-layered stencils, his work ranging from highly finished stencil pieces on wood or canvas to large-scale stencil works that feature both in galleries and on the street. Essentially it is Peepshow’s eye for detail and talent for creating things that look good that gives his artwork such accessibility and appeal.

Peepshow’s short career as an artist has already seen him establish an impressive portfolio of successful gallery exhibitions and he has become a well-known name in the local street art scene. His consistency and impressive commitment to expanding his skills in all areas of creativity ensures he will be an artist to watch over the next few years.
