Futura, also known as Futura 2000 is the pseudonym of Lenny McGurr. He is a living legend of the graffiti movement, an illustrator, photographer, sculptor, fashion and graphic designer from New York City. He started to paint illegally on New York subway trains and city walls in the early seventies and as legend goes - was the first artist to cover an entire wagon in abstract graffiti!
Futura began painting 'legally' in the early 80s while on tour in Europe with punk band The Clash, doing banners for their stage and on occasion taking up the microphone.
With a career that spans more than 45 years, he continues to create thought-provoking pieces which influence young artists & culture enthusiasts everywhere.
