Logan Hicks is a New York based stencil artist whose work explores the dynamics of the urban environment. Originally a screen printer, Logan's work has gained notoriety due to his ability to capture the sometimes mundane cycle of city life in a haunting, yet refined way with his hand-sprayed stencils. Stenciling started as a substitution for screen printing, but quickly morphed into Logan's medium of choice. A perfect union was conceived by spray painting stencils: the dirty and gritty nature of the spray paint thoroughly depicted the decay of the city, while the muted shine of metallic paint mirrored the faint glimmer of hope and life within it. It is this symbiotic relationship with the city that fuels his work. With his photo realistic style, the nuances of city life that epitomize the urban existence are what he dwells upon.
