Conrico Steez

Conrico Steez is an illustrator/signwriter/street artist based in Bristol, UK and part of the GYS crew.
Having come from a city teeming with bright colours, bold, beautiful murals and artists from every shade of the creative rainbow. Growing up in these environments has laid the groundwork and crafted his style into what you see before your eye’s today.
From the mould on the back of a rock in your nan’s garden to the flairs and throws of paint you see in the streets around you. Conrico loves to bring together all these aspects to inform and develop the murals he creates. Fascinated with the ethereal worlds of ukiyo-e artists from the past and their vivid uses of colour, influenced by street/fashion photography for his portraits. Drawing upon the heavy line work of comic illustrators and complementary yet vivid colour schemes, his murals feel like a new world you could step into and explore as if straight out of a Studio Ghibli film. The wisps of wind or cool flow of a river within a landscape you can almost feel on your skin.
