Kev Munday bio: Kev Munday crafts vibrant, utopian worlds and invites viewers to step inside and explore. Inspired by the energy of everyday life and people, his work celebrates the beauty in the ordinary, transforming it into something extraordinary. His art speaks to all ages and his signature style of bold black outlines and vivid block colours creates an electrifying visual impact. Perhaps best known for his iconic crowd paintings, his work is a vibrant tribute to diversity and community.
Munday’ s journey began in the early 2000s as a teenage graffiti artist and these accessible and engaging roots remain integral to his art today, whether adorning gallery walls or revitalising public spaces. Kev has collaborated with brands including IKEA and Nescafe Azera and his work has been exhibited in The Royal Academy of Arts, The Arnolfini and The Hayward Gallery. His work also extends beyond traditional art spaces and is often studied in schools – reinforcing his belief that art is not just to be observed but to be interacted with, explored and brought to life.
