Martin Whatson (b. 1984) is a Norwegian born and based stencil artist. While studying Art and Graphic design at Westerdals School of Communication, Oslo, he discovered stencils and the urban art scene. After following graffiti and its development, he started his own stencil production 10 years ago in the winter of 2004.

Martin Whatson makes public murals, paintings on canvas, prints, and sculptures that unite detailed grayscale compositions with colourful scribbles — his muted pictures of dancers, animals, and iconic art-historical figures feature patches of explosive, abstract graffiti. The juxtapositions create a significant sense of layering and opposing worlds within each work. Whatson began making art when he participated in Oslo’s graffiti scene in the 1990’s. He drew inspiration from the city’s continuously changing landscape as he developed his own energetic aesthetic.

Martin has a continuous urge to search for beauty in what is commonly dismissed as ugly, out of style or simply left behind. He looks for inspirations in people, city landscapes, old buildings, graffiti, posters and decaying walls. This interest in decay has helped develop his style, motives and composition and he enjoys creating either unity or conflict between materials, backgrounds, motives and human intervention. His artistic expression started more political, but has developed into a more subtle expression blending graffiti, stencil art and decay together.

Inspired by artists like Jose Parlá and Cy Twombly; his abstract graffiti and stencils are a mix of urban scenes showing the development of a walls lifetime. He uses grey tones as a basis but add’s vibrant colours to break the monochrome concrete expression and bring a splash of life to his motives. Whatson has exhibited in Oslo, New York, Paris, London, Tokyo, Berlin, and beyond. He has also completed several commissioned murals and participated in collaborations with fashion brands.
