Hue's latest creations are a tribute to Roger Hargreaves's Mr Men books & also dubbed the 'Untold Stories' on each painting, I must have missed these as a child! the 'Hue Folk - Mr Men And Little Miss Books.' Taking the concept of the re-imagined Penguin Books and crossing them with one of his favourite genres, cartoon characters! - we think these are rather special.
The artist has recently turned his creative flair to producing a series of 'Hue Folk - Penguin Classics,' book covers with cheeky slogans written on! A genre of art incredibly in vogue in the UK art market, Hue approaches each original with great care and an eye for detail, using bold brush strokes and lush varnishing, they are simply beautiful pieces art for your home.
We can also request mix-and-match designs, allowing you to swap colours & fonts on the book covers, or even commission your own design! Hue is finding these originals incredibly rewarding to make and the feedback from customers has been amazing!

Exciting new artist Hue folk was born in 1989 and was massively influenced by pop culture growing up, the history of Pop Art and talents such as Andy Warhol and Keith Haring. Well not quite…
So the secret is out! Hue Folk is not actually one individual but a pseudonym for a collective of young and diverse artists inspired by recent trends in pop culture! I may still refer to Hue as a real person here but regardless they are all upcoming Urban Pop artists that continue to make headway on British gallery wall space.
As you can see, Hue is inspired by cartoon characters, iconic & famous people, vibrant colours and fashion labels; certainly, his pull to use flashy and attention-grabbing colours is something you can see across all of his original and limited edition portfolio.
As the collective is made up of various people, it benefits from their wide skillset and fortes as digital artists, graphic designers and illustrators to name just three disciplines they are schooled in. Clearly, they are immersed in experimenting with design, the use of typography and mashing up Urban and Folk art themes.
Their ‘secret location’ art studio is actually in Milton Keynes, no doubt inside the HQ of their publisher! and the production process is equally as diverse as the group. Spray paints, inks, gold and silver reliefs and even laser engraved woods have become popular with Hue - as well as reinventing the use of stencilling & print making itself as an art form!
