Mau Mau is a highly regarded British urban graffiti artist and graphic designer known for his sharp, witty commentary on contemporary social and environmental issues. Hailing from the surf-laden North Devon coast, he infuses his work with a unique blend of rural sophistication and a rebellious urban edge, a style honed over more than two decades. His art often features a signature, mischievous, and fun loving fox character, along with other animal figures, which serve as neutral messengers for complex statements on subjects like corporate greed, political corruption, and environmental catastrophe. This distinctive approach allows him to simplify powerful messages for a wide audience, utilizing humor and satire to challenge viewers to think critically.

His work is not limited to street walls; Mau Mau has painted his way around the world, leaving his mark on everything from shipwrecks and surfboards to galleries and billboards across the UK, America, Jamaica, Thailand, and Australia. He first gained attention in the late 1990s by co-owning the surf and skate apparel brand Sewerside, designing graphics before fully committing to street art. This background in design is evident in the bold, striking imagery of his graffiti and print work. Mau Mau's commitment to activism is further demonstrated through collaborations with high profile organisations such as Greenpeace, World Land Trust, and Surfers Against Sewage, and his artwork has also appeared in music videos for artists like Dizzee Rascal and Skitz. His successful, sold out exhibitions and a recently published book, Talking Out Of My Art, showcase the global reach and enduring impact of his art as a tool for expression and social commentary.

Mau Mau is a renowned British urban graffiti and print artist who has cultivated a significant international following over more than two decades with his humorous, politically charged, and environmentally conscious work. Hailing from the surf and country environment of the North Devon coast, his style is unique, blending a "rural sophistication" with a rebellious urban edge. He got his name during a trip to Ghana in the early 1990s, when Rastafarians at the Twelve Tribes temple couldn't pronounce his birth name, Mark. They started calling him "Mau Mau," and the nickname stuck. 

His art often features a trademark character, a mischievous and fun-loving fox, which serves as a neutral yet potent vehicle for sharp social commentary on issues like corporate greed, political corruption, and environmental degradation. Mau Mau began his artistic journey designing graphics for the surf and skate brand Sewerside, co-owned from 1995 to 2001, before fully embracing street art to reach a wider audience beyond the gallery setting.

His street art can be found globally, appearing on city walls, billboards, shipwrecks, and surfboards across the UK, America, Jamaica, Thailand, and Australia. A notable piece, "Olympic Takeaway," which parodied the Olympics with a McDonald's clown, generated significant controversy, reflecting his desire to challenge viewers' perceptions of the world around them.

Beyond street art, Mau Mau has collaborated with various high-profile environmental organizations such as Greenpeace and Surfers Against Sewage, and created art for the Glastonbury Festival and record labels like Ninja Tune. His work has been exhibited in galleries worldwide, and a book of his work, Talking Out of My Art, chronicles his artistic journey and counter-cultural themes.
