Hua Tunan
Hua Tunan in the Atelier JI studio, 2016
Chinese-born street artist Hua Tunan is fast becoming one of the biggest names on the international street art scenes. Hua began his artistic career painting in traditional Chinese techniques, taught to him by his father. It was then on his travels to Singapore where he found a passion for street art. A true performer by nature, this very talented artist is able to bring a controlled chaotic energetic composition by mixing Western graffiti styles with traditional Chinese methods, staying true to his Chinese heritage.
In 2016, 2018, and 2019, Graffiti Street invited Hua to our London printmaking studio, where we had the great pleasure of hosting Hua to collaboratively produce three beautiful editions, hand-finished by Hua using his iconic brushstroke details.
