.EPOD is a UK-based street artist known for his rich fusion of graffiti, futurism, and fine art. Born in 1977 and raised in a high-rise estate on the outskirts of London, his work is deeply rooted in the visual culture of his youth-drawing inspiration from hip-hop, retro sci-fi films, and the polished pages of 1970s Vogue magazines. His early days as a graffiti writer under the name “DOPE” evolved into the moniker .EPOD, reflecting a shift toward a more nuanced, stylised aesthetic.

Blending classical influences with modern urban edge, .EPOD’s artwork often takes inspiration to the dramatic lighting of Caravaggio and the psychological depth of Rembrandt. His murals and canvases are characterised by ethereal figures, industrial textures, and a cinematic colour palette that bridges the old masters with futuristic design. With a background in illustration and fashion design, .EPOD’s practice lives at the intersection of street culture and fine art, making his work a unique and timeless presence on both gallery walls and city streets.
