Bio

Luv One is a street artist and aerosol muralist from New Jersey.  Born outside Philadelphia and raised in the Quad Cities and Chicago, he has lived on the East Coast for most of his adult life.  A graduate of SVA’s Illustration Department, and member of Albus Cavus and S.A.G.E. Artist Collectives.  Luv One’s murals can be seen across New Jersey, also in Yonkers, NY, Philadelphia, PA, Washington, DC, and Chicago, IL.  His art has been shown in numerous Galleries across the US, to mention a few the Micro  Museum in Brooklyn, NY, Flat Iron Building and Art Gallery Kafe in Chicago, IL,

Known for his illustrative style in portraiture and interlacing bold colorful designs, Luv draws inspiration from the Celtic art of the monks of Iona and other Arabesque ornamentation, folk art from around the world, the Expressionists of the 20^th Century, and many contemporary street and aerosol artists.
