Remi Rough is a street and gallery artist from South London known for his distinctive style of abstract shards of colour and composition. 

“Remi Rough deals with visual semantics, distilling fragments of the world around him into powerful abstract compositions. Remi’s pseudo-sculptural paintings and large- scale murals are instilled with a ‘street-wise’ energy and tension born from early experiences as a young graffiti writer, painting walls and trains across the world. The instinctive use of colour and geometric form in Remi’s work can often result in what might be described as the graphic notation for some unseen urban symphony.” - Ed Bartlett. Curator and founder of The Future Tense

An artwork of this size by Remi Rough normally sells for £3,000
