Pigeon Steve

Pigeon Steve is a contemporary multimedia artist whose eclectic practice explores the liminal spaces between urban chaos and everyday whimsy. Based in Manchester, Steve is best known for transforming overlooked city corners with vibrant murals, found-object sculptures, and playful installations frequently inspired by the city’s resident pigeons—creatures he considers emblematic of resilience, adaptation, and humor. Trained in graphic design but largely self-taught in street art, Steve’s early work was rooted in guerrilla interventions around abandoned warehouses, where cheeky, spray-painted pigeons seemed to claim the concrete for themselves.

Over time, his art has evolved into a larger visual lexicon—incorporating collage, digital manipulation, and community workshops—always guided by an ethos of accessibility and inclusivity. Pigeon Steve’s work has been exhibited in galleries across the UK and splashed on walls from Berlin to Bristol, yet he remains most passionate about public art that surprises and delights passersby. His distinctive blend of wit, color, and urban narrative has established Pigeon Steve as both a cult favorite among street art enthusiasts and a thoughtful commentator on city life.
