URSH is a Melbourne-based multidisciplinary visual artist known for his post-graffiti and abstract graffiti style. With a background in graphic design and graffiti, URSH blends urban art influences with abstract forms to create dynamic, thought-provoking pieces.
His work is inspired by a deep appreciation for textures and the natural imperfections found in the environment. His artistic journey is defined by a constant exploration of new techniques, forms or creative possibilities, seeking to challenge traditional street & fine art's limitations.
URSH often says:
"Let the wall do the talking."
This philosophy drives his creative process, where he embraces the existing wall’s natural textures, cracks, and rough surfaces. Rather than knowing exactly what the finished piece will look like, URSH allows the wall to guide him. Each mural is a conversation, a journey dictated by the interaction between the artist and the space.
Through this communication, URSH brings out hidden beauty in the imperfections of the wall, transforming overlooked areas into captivating focal points. The result isn’t just art—it’s an experience for pedestrians and passersby who are drawn to stop, look, and engage. The art captivates the viewer, but in reality, it’s the wall itself that’s being seen through a new lens—URSH has simply uncovered its hidden personality and applied his own artistic identity to it, becoming one with the space.
URSH's artistic journey began in the mid-2000s with traditional graffiti, where he experimented with everything from illegal street art to more legal commissioned works. However, after several years, URSH became disillusioned with the limitations of his style and felt stagnant.
After an eight-year break, he returned to the scene in 2019/2020, but this time with a fresh perspective and a desire to break free from the rules and habits he'd built over the years. He adopted a new name, URSH, inspired by a music project, and embarked on a path that defied the conventions he once adhered to.
Upon returning to graffiti, URSH saw how the world had evolved, with new forms of expression emerging, including Post-Graffiti and Abstract-Graffiti. Artists were now sharing their work confidently and openly, which reignited URSH's creative passion. Motivated by this newfound freedom, he set out each week with the goal of experimenting and pushing boundaries. This bold approach led to rapid evolution in his work, gaining him recognition and connections worldwide.
From Athens to New York, and Amsterdam to Melbourne, URSH's art has travelled across continents, establishing him as a prominent figure in the global graffiti and contemporary art scenes.
