DUAL is a versatile American visual artist based in Houston, Texas, who has maintained a consistent presence in the local creative scene since 2005. Originally emerging from the underground graffiti culture, he is widely recognized for bridging the gap between unauthorized street expressions and formal gallery presentations. His pseudonym reflects this internal and external conflict, as his work often navigates the tension between mass public recognition and the total anonymity associated with urban subcultures.

The artist earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Houston with a focus on painting, a background that informs his mastery of diverse mediums. While he gained significant notoriety for his wheat paste works, notably featured in the 2011 documentary Stick Em Up, his portfolio includes silk screening, lithography, acrylics, and the traditional craft of sign painting. His aesthetic is defined by bold lines and vibrant colors that aim to disrupt the monotony of urban life. In addition to smaller-scale "mini murals" on utility boxes, he has completed major commissions for local businesses and high-profile collaborations with global brands like Sprite and Dickies. His ongoing contributions to the city’s visual landscape are part of a personal project to beautify his community through art that is accessible to all observers.
