Porkchop

The inter-disciplinary artist known as Porkchop was born in 1970 in New Jersey, USA, and works across a plethora of mediums including painting, sculpture, acrylic, graffiti, and mural painting. Having graduated with an MFA in Sculpture from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia, he went on to complete a BA from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia.

Throughout his work, Porkchop often imbues vintage images with darker and more contemporary elements, which has ensured his commercial success throughout the United States as well as globally. His large-scale murals in particular, as witnessed by the scenes he composed along the Asbury Park boardwalk, in conversation with the sea, brought him the publicity which elevated his status.
