Stuart Semple is one of the UK’s leading post YBA artists. He has held held solo shows in Hong Kong, New York, Los Angeles and Milan, and has featured in over 50 group exhibitions alongside artists such as Peter Doig, Basquiat, Warhol, Richard Prince, Ai Wei Wei and The Chapman Brothers.
Semple is known for his Happy Cloud performances around the world, the first being outside Tate Modern.
In recent years, Semple has been embroiled in the ongoing ‘Art Wars’, which started when artist Anish Kapoor secured exclusive rights to Vantablack, the blackest substance on earth. Semple responded by creating and sharing a series of the world's artist art materials including the ‘Pinkest Pink’, Black 2.0, and LIT ( a light emitting pigment), available to all but Kapoor. This May and June, Semple’s ‘Happy City’ project came to Denver, including a range of large scale installations, immersive experiences and his participatory exhibition 'Happiness HQ'.
