#MeetAndGraff is a short interview series where we meet different graffiti artists who work on Leake Street to learn more about their style.
Name Twon Dean
Graffiti Name Orbit
What age did you get into graffiti? I started painting on walls at the late age of 29. Nearly 2 and a half years ago now.
Who is your favourite street artist? Buff Monster
How would you describe your style? A geometric conversation disguised as simple pattern and form run through an almost colourist approach to painting. Classic freehand can only application. End result feeling bright, trippy & transient. In two words, ‘Candied Cypher’!
What do you want people to feel when they look at your work? A desire for the unknown.
What do you think about London’s graffiti scene? I don’t think about it much, i pay more attention to the message in each piece of work.
What do you think about legal walls such as Leake Street Tunnel? They make a massive difference to so many people lives in such a good way. Mine included. All I can say is that without these spaces, London wouldn’t be the same.
