A Conversation with Temper - One Of Graffiti's Founding Fathers

This week, Steven talks to renowned street artists, Temper, most prolific in the advancement of spray paint photorealism in the United Kingdom. He was the first graffiti artist to create a conceptual collection on canvas and revolutionalised portraiture in popular culture globally with his "The Good Die Young" concept and collection in 2002. In this groundbreaking and highly exclusive interview, Temper discusses his doctorate in art, and the vital part he has played in the establishing of graffiti as a legitimate art form. KEY TAKEAWAYS There has been a cross-pollination of graffiti into street art, which has subsequently shifted into a more commercialised form, which has led to collaborations with larger organisations. Larger corporations investing in street art and graffiti, allows the younger generations to own a small part of the movement, inspiring them to follow the cultural path later. True artists hear the clarion call from the first moments of life, and spend their existence in pursuit of creation and development. True satisfaction in our careers come from expressing ourselves artistically, and forming the messages we wish to send out into the world. What anyone else does, and how, should always be separate to our own choices. BEST MOMENTS 'I was born an artist' 'I'm an artist firstly, then I' trying to be a human after' 'I have a conversation with each painting, and once it's finished, I move on to the next conversation' 'I've travelled around my brain like the universe' VALUABLE RESOURCES The Steven Sulley Study      ABOUT THE HOST The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success.
