Paul Insect (b. 1971) is an artist living and working in London, UK who prefers to keep his true identity anonymous. He first rose to prominence as part of the “insect” artist collective, which was active between 1996 and 2005. His sharp-edged images combine all the absurdism of Dada with the sleekness of modernism, yielding surreal renderings that point playfully at the deep dark underbelly of adult life.
