To call Remi/Rough a graffiti writer would be to akin to describing Pele as "a footballer"; whilst factually correct, the term cannot begin to paint the entire picture. Born in South London, 1971, Remi spent 20 years developing his own unique style whilst at the same time solidifying his place as one of the cornerstones of the UK scene. Since his first spraycan experiments, Remi has gone on to become an artist, designer, musician and television presenter, all the while straying no further from his stylistic roots as his physical ones (Remi still calls the same southern part of London which birthed his style home, albeit now a shared one, with his partner and daughter).
His artwork has adorned exhibitions in Perth, Hamburg, Paris, Strasbourg, Tokyo, Hong Kong, New York, Los Angeles, Edinburgh and London; and his unmistakable style has been sought out by such companies as; Red Bull, Def Jux Records, Nike, Kickers and even Her Majesty's Foreign Office.
