Biography
A graduate of Falmouth School of Art, Louis Masai moved to London in 2010 and quickly developed a mural practice centered on endangered species and the sixth mass extinction. His instantly recognizable graphic style assembles bold blocks of color, floral patterns, and stripes into patchwork-like animals that resemble quilted toys, often accompanied by a signature bee carrying a needle and thread stitching the creature together.
The artist uses large-scale murals, paintings, and sculptures as tools for raising awareness of climate change and species equality. In 2016, he crossed the United States with The Art of Beeing, a project comprising over twenty murals depicting threatened species across twelve cities and nine states in just two months. He regularly partners with organizations including Friends of the Earth, the IUCN, the Gaia Foundation, and The Body Shop.
Based in London, he paints walls across the globe, from the United Kingdom to the United States, continental Europe, and Africa. His murals turn urban facades into visual appeals for biodiversity, making the fragility of wildlife visible through an accessible and colorful graphic language.
