Stikki Peaches is an anonymous Canadian street artist who originated from Montreal, renowned globally for his vibrant, multi-layered wheat-paste prints and satirical graffiti. He operates in complete anonymity, always appearing masked in photographs, a persona that has drawn comparisons to Banksy. His artistic journey began in the fashion industry, where he worked as a designer, influenced by his father, a tailor, and his mother, a seamstress. This background in textiles is evident in his unique, mixed-media style that involves superimposing layers of paper, old magazines, comics, fabrics, and found objects, which he then embellishes with spray paint and various drawing tools. This complex layering creates what he calls "beautifully controlled chaos," blurring the line between urban debris and fine art.

 Stikki Peaches is best known for his provocative signature tagline, "What if Art Ruled the World?" which serves as a recurring question in his work and a commentary on how a society governed by artistic expression might be free from conflict. His art frequently features nostalgic pop culture references, including iconic figures from music, film, and comics like Batman, Elvis Presley, and Kate Moss, often juxtaposed with punk symbols and tattoo designs. Starting his street art career in 2009, his large-scale murals can be found on city walls in major metropolises worldwide, including Paris, New York, London, Berlin, and Toronto. Stikki Peaches was a pioneer in bringing the ephemeral medium of wheat-paste collage into the gallery space, and his highly sought-after works are now exhibited in international galleries and art fairs like Art Basel Miami, with collectors including celebrities such as Lady Gaga.
