the street is our gallery

As one of South Africa’s most exciting young street artists of recent years, British-born Sonny is

most well-known for his large-scale murals. A relative newcomer, Sonny’s paintings can already

be found in various locations around the world including New York, London, Canada, Russia,

Ireland, Miami and South Africa. Taking influences from his African surroundings and wildlife, his

vibrant work often fuses the natural world with elements of fantasy and geometric shapes.

Sonny is currently using his unique style of street art to raise awareness for endangered wildlife

on a global scale through his To The Bone project. As part of the project the self-taught artist will

also be exhibiting his first body of canvas works in New York in May 2018. This work

combines classic wildlife imagery with a strong social message about the importance of wildlife

conservation.
