Ame72 aka Jamie Ame, British, b.1972

Ame72 (pronounced 'aim72') is an 'Old Skool' UK graffiti & street artist with over 25 years of history in the scene.

Strongly influenced by the New York graffiti movement of the early 80's Ame was drawn into the culture after watching films such as Beat Street and Style Wars and browsing through the now renowned 80's publication, Subway Art.

Whilst still taking an active role in the graffiti scene, by the mid 90's Ame had made the crossover from the underground graffiti scene to the world of contemporary art and has since exhibited and sold works in Museums, galleries and auction houses around the world including the MOCA in Beijing China, Fresh Paint Art Fair, TLV, and Dreweatts Neate Fine Art Auction Group, UK.

Ame uses an ecletic mix of style, colour and technique as a means to transmit messages and humor towards society's characteristics, reflecting economic abundance, consumerism & commercialisation.

With ever increasing popularity, Ame works have gained a diverse following of collectors, from adult Lego fans to Hollywood movie stars and even Royalty.

The NEW pop… Blop Art!
Ame's Blop Art, a self proclaimed, post modern art style, influenced by the free running drips and splats created whilst using spray paint.
Ame best describes Blop Art as 'serendipity in a tin'.

2011 will see Ame works exhibited alongside other prominent artists as part of the first ever Urban Art exhibition held at the prestigious Tel Aviv Museum of Art.
