Hicks is a London mural artist working through the tradition of the sublime landscape in British Romanticism. Over the last 20 years his work has covered divination, masks, Jung, folk saints,

and eventually ending up exploring the line between apocalypse and transcendence, dawn and dusk. To place the immortal classic alongside graffiti, into the ephemeral public domain is to deterritorialise our/art history. Evoking narratives that explore radical theology, cataclysm and thus, responsibility. His current mural and studio practice comes from, yet stands in opposition to the pop, market led sensibilities of street art and modern muralism.
