INFO
Broken Fingaz is an artist collective founded in 2001. Emerging from the graffiti movement of the early Noughties, the group has developed a multidisciplinary practice that spans painting, muralism, sculpture, installation, animation and printmaking. Working collaboratively across media, Broken Fingaz has cultivated a distinctive visual language that merges the immediacy of street culture with references to European modernist painting, music, underground comics and Middle Eastern aesthetics and environments. Their practice reflects an ongoing interest in the intersections between public space, collective identity and contemporary image-making.
Characterised by vibrant use of colour, densely layered compositions and a personal iconography, that blurs abstraction and figuration, the collective’s works often navigate the tensions between humour and violence, desire and mortality, fiction and lived experience. Drawing from the political and social complexities of their immediate environment while resisting fixed national, artistic or cultural definitions, Broken Fingaz produces works that reflect on the space between the personal and the universal. Their unique collaborative methodology dissolves individual authorship in favour of a shared visual vocabulary that continues to evolve across contexts and formats. Across murals, installations and works on paper, Broken Fingaz challenges conventional distinctions between fine art and popular expression, foregrounding the transformative potential of collective practice and the enduring power of popular images in the public realm.
Alongside an extensive programme of exhibitions, the collective has realised large-scale public commissions throughout Europe, Asia, North and South America, and the Middle East. Their work has also extended into collaborations with globally-renowned brands such as Apple, Universal, Nike and Penguin, and musicians such as U2, Primus, Pearl Jam, Beck, The Alchemist, and Kendrick Lamar, reflecting a sustained engagement with contemporary visual culture beyond the gallery.
