Mike Ballard aka Cept




Between street art and fine art there can be a thin line. Or, in Mike Ballard's perspective, an interesting blending, or even a double identity, that leads to innovative work. His approach is wide and it can mix Caravaggio and NASA, as in his last exhibition, or go for the purest street language as in some of his earlier pieces.
In an interview, Mike said "cave paintings, through spitted pigment are, in a way, the first form of grafitti work". Since then imagination and ar
tists like Mike have never ceased to amaze us.
