EP 140 : MR JUNE
JULY 2022
"Then I realised I have a signature, a style and a use of colors…and now the hexagon is a complete fetish of me"
Mr. June has been painting on walls since 1985 and in the nearly 40 years since then much has changed but his core love of graffiti and painting has not. After graduating with a Graphic Design degree from the Royal School of Arts in his native Holland Mr. June started his own design firm in Amsterdam which he ran with great success until his desire to work for clients gave way to his need for artistic freedom and independence. By combining his graffiti background with his design knowledge he condensed decades of training down into one single shape upon which he has developed an entire fine art career spanning over a decade. With the humble hexagon as the starting point for every piece of art he makes, Mr. June is forced to pull inspiration from elsewhere. Guided by the architecture and environments in which he paints or simply expanding on ideas from his past works, Mr. June finds endless design possibilities and offers them up to the viewer wrapped in his trademark bands of gradient color.
