Musings. Reflections. Reimaginings. Unconventional simple-form wall art from UK coffeehouse artist Stutz.

A third-culture kid, Stutz spent his early years in British boarding schools before moving to Asia, living as a bouncer, mechanic and racing driver. Then came BBC Top Gear and an MA, before returning to motorsport in Singapore and across Europe. In 2016 he created Stutz Studio as a home for his creative soul - to include wall art, physical pieces and photographic work.

Today, Stutz Studio offers a unique art retail experience with branded pop-up stores in major cities worldwide via partner collaborations. All art for sale is produced in-house by Stutz from his original studio. (He still plays with cars.)

Since 2015, Stutz has been surfing the rise of coffeehouse art - a simple, unruly art style that is exists in an informal world of relaxed public spaces and private settings. It can be thoughtful, meaningful work, but it doesn’t require endless study, Champagne and canapés or a fog of words and pontification.

"There is a lot of smoke and mirrors - and bullshit - in the art scene. This is not that, it’s just creative concept. Sometimes it’s thoughtful, sometimes it’s just stupid and colourful and fun. It’s what you make of it - nothing more, nothing less.

Solid colours, hard lines, free space and profile or silhouette forms keep my ideas and work as uncomplicated as possible… the kind of honest thing a kid might draw, but with more weight and depth. No fuss, no fill, just ideas taking form in sharp, simple images that pin my thoughts to the paper. I don’t try to make pretty or popular things, or please people, but I do appreciate the thoughts of others… art is in the eye of the beholder and is often a far more interesting conversation."
