Graffiti artist OKER, hailing from South East England, sought solace in graffiti during his challenging teenage years. After relocating to New York in his twenties, he returned to the UK, importing NYC's bombing style to London. Esteemed artists like Barry McGee, KR, and Banksy recognised his talent.

His 'throw-ups' adorn South London, while his art on trains traversing the city profoundly influences the younger generation of writers. As one of England's very few 'all city' graffiti writers, he's left his mark in every corner of London.

Legal issues in 2000 and 2013 prompted OKER to reconsider his approach, evident in his 'Going Against The Grain' exhibition at StolenSpace, showcasing artistic growth and evolving perspectives.

Graffiti became OKER's refuge during tumultuous adolescence, offering an escape from personal struggles and a chance to be known solely as 'OKER' among like-minded peers along the tracks.
