Day-z makes you look twice at things you’d normally walk straight past. A banana. A 99p ice cream. A fried egg. The kind of everyday objects that don’t usually get a second thought - until Day-z paints them, blows them up, and sets them against a backdrop so bold it provokes the viewer to question what they represent.
Born and raised in London, Day-z studied Fine Art at Central Saint Martins, where she developed a way of working that sits somewhere between old and new. Day-z takes techniques you’d associate with the classical masters - careful observation, masterful control of light and form - and turn them on subjects you’d more likely find on a billboard or a corner shop shelf. The result is work that feels both completely familiar and slightly unreal: hyper-real, graphic, and impossible to ignore.
Her talent hasn’t gone unnoticed. Day-z won the Derwent Art Prize People’s Choice Award, and was named one of nine artists to watch by After Nyne Magazine.
“I grew up in London and studied Fine Art at Central Saint Martins.
Combining techniques learned from the classical masters with contemporary culture, I create a signature style that fuses street art with fine art.
Through painting, texture and bold visual storytelling, I transform familiar icons and everyday subjects into striking contemporary works.”
