Northern Monk Tankpetrol

Manchester-based Tankpetrol originally created a name for himself on the local graffiti scene. Today he’s known for stencil art, although he uses different techniques ranging from typography and traditional painting, to freehand murals and fine woodwork. His artwork embraces the diversity of women characters, with his vivid female portraits evoking the emotional complexity of a woman showing fear, anger, nostalgia or self-confidence. Tankpetrol’s murals can be seen in countries around the world including Iceland, Malaysia, Russia, France, Germany and Luxembourg, and his canvases are featured in private collections worldwide.
