Skinny

Skinny is a multidisciplinary artist known for their evocative blend of raw street aesthetics, candid social commentary, and distinctive use of color and form. Born in Detroit, Skinny began experimenting with graffiti and urban art as a teenager, channeling personal struggles and the vibrancy of city life into visual expression. Their early work, characterized by bold lines and expressive faces, quickly drew attention in underground art circles for its emotional honesty and striking visual narratives.

Over the years, Skinny’s practice has expanded to include mixed-media installations, digital illustration, and collaborative public murals, each piece offering a unique meditation on identity, vulnerability, and resilience. Drawing inspiration from music, pop culture, and the everyday stories of marginalized communities, Skinny crafts an aesthetic that is at once deeply personal and universally resonant. Despite maintaining a somewhat enigmatic public persona, Skinny’s art has been exhibited in major cities across the U.

S. and Europe, garnering acclaim for its ability to break down cultural barriers and ignite dialogue about social change and healing.
