Gent 48

Gent 48, born Josh Billingham, is a prominent street artist from Birmingham, UK, known for his bold, colourful murals and thought-provoking urban art. With a style that blends realism, abstract elements, and vibrant colours, Gent 48 creates visually striking works that comment on modern life, identity, and other issues.

Growing up in Birmingham, Gent 48 was inspired by the city's rich culture and diverse street art scene.

His work, often characterised by dynamic portraits, geometric patterns, and intense splashes of colour, has earned him recognition not just in the UK but across Globe.

Gent 48’s murals can be found on walls throughout UK and other countries such as Australia, Italy, Germany and the U.S, where they often serve as powerful visual statements about the communities they inhabit. With a focus on elevating public spaces, his art challenges perceptions and invites viewers to pause and reflect on both the beauty and the complexity of urban life.

Beyond the streets, Gent 48 has showcased his work in galleries, collaborating with brands and organisations to bring his unique artistic voice to a wider audience. Whether on large-scale murals or smaller artworks, his work continues to push the boundaries of contemporary street art.
