Beast (street artist)

Beast is a street artist primarily known for their large-scale, often vibrant and somewhat unsettling mural work. Their art frequently depicts distorted animal figures, hybridized creatures, and figures with exaggerated features, rendered in a distinctive, almost nightmarish style. The pieces often feature intense colours and dramatic lighting, contributing to the overall unsettling effect.

While specifics regarding Beast's identity and exact location are frequently elusive, their work has been documented in various urban centers, suggesting a wide-ranging presence within the street art community. Common themes explored in their art include the tension between the natural and the artificial, the grotesque, and the darker aspects of the human psyche, often visualized through animalistic symbolism. Unlike some street artists who focus on political commentary or explicit social critique, Beast's work tends toward the more psychological and visceral, aiming to evoke a strong emotional response in the viewer. The application of the art is often large-scale, taking advantage of prominent wall space to maximise impact. Their work has been noted for its highly detailed application of spray paint techniques, creating a depth and texture unusual for street art.
