Jboy 'The Thinker' HPM Available
Saturday, November 1, 2025 Artist: JBoy
Title: The Thinker
Medium: Handpainted Multiple on Canvas
Size: 50 x 50 cm
Edition: 25
Price: £1,200
JBoy is the working name of an anonymous London visual artist who weaponizes dry British humour against the polished spectacle of contemporary life. Preferring to let the idea, not immaculate technique, carry the weight, he draws with charcoal, pencil and acrylic, keeping most pieces black and white so a single jolt of colour can punch the viewer straight to the punch-line. Influenced by Gary Larson’s sideways wit and Guy Billout’s crisp surrealism, he crafts visual one-liners: a masked commuter reads “How to Breathe” upside down, a pensioner hoovers up autumn leaves that reappear as thought bubbles, a coffee cup wears a halo to ask who we really worship each morning.
He drifted into the urban art scene “by mistake” and now treats the city as an open notebook, pasting fly-posters or painting small murals that reward the observant walker. Studio days begin only “when my brain decides to co-operate,” yet this loose schedule yields sharp social commentary delivered with a deadpan shrug. Editions drop unannounced online and usually sell out within hours; buyers receive scruffy perfection rather than polished blandness, a deliberate stance against the Instagram era of flawless surfaces.
Anonymity is practical, not mysterious “I care about what I make, not who I am” allowing the work to circulate without celebrity baggage. Whether skewering consumer culture, political absurdity or everyday anxiety, JBoy’s art lands like a whispered joke across a crowded Tube carriage: quick, clever, slightly guilty, and impossible to forget once the penny drops.

JBoy 'Hollow' (Black/White or Silver/White) Timed Edition Available
Thursday, October 23, 2025 Artist: JBoy
Title: Hollow (Black/White or Silver/White)
Medium: Acrylic + Marker on Canvas
Size: 50 x 50 cm
Edition: TIMED
Price: £195
*available for 24 hrs from Noon EST on Friday October 24th, 2025
Hollow is about anonymity, absence, and everything that leaks through when you try to hide. Some people see loneliness, others calm. I mostly see gravity doing its job. Each piece is hand painted with Grog and Molotow dripper paints in a messy, semi controlled way.

JBoy 'Hollow' (Gold) Painting Available
Wednesday, October 22, 2025 Artist: JBoy
Title: Hollow (Gold)
Medium: HPM Canvas
Size: 50 x 50 cm
Edition: 10
Price: £195
JBoy is the working alias of a London-based visual artist who prefers to keep his real name private. Born and raised in the city, he describes himself as “fairly (un)known” and treats art as a way to calm a restless, hyperactive mind. Rather than aligning with one signature style, he follows whatever feels right for the picture, moving between charcoal, pencil and paint, and letting the idea not the polish be the artwork.
Most of his output is black and white, a choice he finds “fairly slick,” with a single accent colour dropped in to guide the eye and amplify the message. This stripped-back palette heightens the dry, observational humour that runs through his pieces: visual commentaries on everything from social absurdities to personal pet peeves, delivered with a light, tongue-in-cheek twist.
Influences range from Gary Larson’s offbeat cartoons to the precise, surreal illustrations of Guy Billout, and he credits an eccentric early education technical drawing lessons from Timmy Mallett’s uncle for sparking his creative confidence. Although formally trained, JBoy insists he only truly focuses “when my mind clicks into the zone,” producing work in intense bursts and discarding anything that doesn’t feel 100 percent right.
Exhibiting through Signature Fine Art and releasing small print runs that sell out quickly, he maintains anonymity simply because he likes it that way, proving that in an age of constant self-promotion, a low profile can still command high attention.
