the artist

anil mistry is a uk based mixed media artist who focuses on creating fresh new interpretations of urban landscapes. using his own source imagery from his travels around the world, anil combines photography with mixed medias such as spray paints, stencils, acrylics and screen printing. these surreal and evocative collages feature stylistically unusual, misfit and often overlooked elements from cityscapes, environments and everyday objects. he playfully juxtaposes different elements to create rich new landscapes and settings - each with their own unique narrative.

the story

this abandoned skateboard on venice beach quickly caught anil’s eye when he was travelling in la. staring at the enormity of the sea whilst sitting on a beach is one of the artist’s favourite pastimes – often leading to moments of deep contemplation and relaxation. this artwork captures a moment in time when anil felt truly content with the world, and also makes us think about this unknown, mystery skateboarder’s relationship to the beach – the ocean so often providing calm, sanctuary and hope.
