Here at La Vida Liverpool, we’re honoured to be a part of the Victoria Quarter regeneration project in the Victoria Road area of New Brighton. During the last year or so, we’ve been bringing you updates on the development of all the incredible street art here and in this feature we bring you the latest from renowned street artist, INSA.

A graduate of Goldsmith’s, London, British artist and designer INSA began his career as a graffiti writer, painting streets and buildings as he travelled. Soon becoming known for his now trademark ‘graffiti fetish’ pattern, INSA’s work is now held in the V&A collection, and has been presented at Tate Britain, London. Outside of the UK, INSA has left his mark in major cities around the world including; Tokyo, LA, New York, San Francisco Luxembourg, Lisbon, Hong Kong, Warsaw, Berlin, Brussels and Montreal.

INSA has independently built a veritable empire which encompasses furniture and clothing design, and his own high heel company, to custom cars and much more. Always keen to push boundaries and innovate further, INSA has gained a huge following for his work globally, and which he has expanded through his recent experiments with social and digital media. His most recent product design – a limited edition release of digital print INSA leggings – sold out in just 6 minutes, using only Instagram and Twitter as platforms.

INSA’s impressive client base counts commissions for private collectors, celebrities and major brands as well as product collaborations with Kangol, Oki-Ni and NIKE. His custom designs for NIKE were so popular that fakes appeared on the market from China, even though the originals were never for sale.

Other recent significant moments include an invitation to curate and sculpt a room in the ICE hotel, Sweden, 2010. In February 2012, INSA produced a short film for Channel 4’s Random Acts, ‘Looking for Love in All The Wrong Places’, again demonstrating his ability to play with a wide range of media.

Another fantastic addition to the area and quite possibly the most colourful yet, this incredible piece has been getting people talking both locally and further afield.
