Hue Folk

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!
