Imbue is the studio alias of
David Mason
, a British contemporary artist born in London on 19 January 1988 and raised in the coastal county of Kent. Fascinated by Lego and cardboard construction as a child, he later gravitated toward graffiti’s DIY freedom, plastering handmade stickers and posters around skateparks and city walls while still at school. That early taste of unsanctioned creativity shaped a practice that now straddles street intervention, sculpture and limited edition print releases.
Working across screen printing, laser cutting, resin casting and 3-D printing, Mason crafts sleek, futuristic objects that smuggle sharp social comment beneath polished surfaces. Iconic pieces include
Always the Real Thing
, a chrome Coca Cola can crowned with a gilt Virgin Mary, and
Sweet Jesus
, a gummy bear crucifix that pairs consumer sweetness with religious devotion to question what we actually worship. Each work is produced in small, obsessively finished runs often packaged in custom screen-printed crates or paired with laser-etched dog tags so the buyer receives an experience as refined as the concept.
Mason’s
24 Hour Art Club
drops a mystery print online for one day only, democratising access while fuelling the hype that surrounds his releases. Murals and sculptures have appeared from Brighton to Barcelona, and commercial commissions have come from Virgin, Red Bull and global music festivals, yet he still pastes clandestine works under darkness, honouring the street ethos that launched him. By fusing guerrilla irreverence with meticulous fabrication, Imbue continues to prod at advertising, religion and pop culture, inviting viewers to sip the shiny surface then taste the questions left behind.
