SCOPE Miami Beach welcomes 140 international exhibitors at its beachfront pavilion, with a focus on the New Contemporary art movement. Known for presenting a wide assortment of groundbreaking contemporary work, SCOPE Miami Beach returns to the sands of Ocean Drive and 8th Street for its 2021 installment. His work is now found on walls and in private collections across the globe: in addition, Whatson has headlined solo exhibitions in London, Paris, Tokyo and Los Angeles. By the dawn of the 21 st century, his work added layers of hand-cut stencils - subtle yet striking images that Whatson embellishes with bold, spray-painted strokes in a range of colors and textures. Whatson first attracted attention in connection with the Oslo graffiti scene of the 1990s, drawing inspiration from the city’s balance of classical and modernist architecture. His images both recreate and transform urban landscapes, exploring the frisson between explosive, abstract graffiti art and muted, often poignant stencils of animals, ballerinas and historical figures. Norwegian-born Whatson is best known for a signature style juxtaposing colorful calligraphic scrawls against monochrome voids. 5 at SCOPE Miami Beach, booth F013, assembles close to three dozen original pieces, including 12 works on paper, 20 canvases and two sculptures, all further refining and evolving Whatson’s vibrant, deeply expressive synthesis of graffiti, stencil art and urban decay. Yet his work still appeals in a masculine way, packed with bold statements that say a lot about the world today.Vertical Gallery is very proud to present ‘RE:TURN,’ a solo exhibit featuring new work by stencil and street artist Martin Whatson. Martin Whatson creates unique stencil scenes, with a message signifying peace and love, and a very distinct female edge. When starting out he found himself drawn to political subjects, inspired by DOLK and Banksy, but over time found his depth in more subtle types of expression. This unusual trend helped him develop his style, motivation and composition, creating unity or sometimes conflict. He studies ready to be demolished buildings and urban landscapes to take inspiration. Striving to be different, Martin finds beauty in what most people find “ugly”, unfashionable or simply out dated. So the step to become an artist in his own right came in 2004. Martin had been passionate about graffiti for many years, closely watching street art flourish. Whilst he was a student in Oslo, he stumbled across urban art making use of stencil work. Born in Norway in 1984, Martin Whatson is a trained stencil artist.
