Work accompanied by authentication.
Whatshisname was born in Poland in 1982 and currently resides in England.
He first became involved with digital art at the age of 7. In 2006, Whatshisname moved to London and started as an assistant to several established British artists.
Today, Whatshisname creates art using both digital and traditional mediums, communicating ideas that cannot be expressed with words alone. His works encourage the viewer to look at the world and question it in a derisive and unorthodox way. The idea for his pseudonym "Whatshisname" came to him through his personal struggle to remember the names of other artists, and he was also inspired by the song "Whatshername" by the American punk band Green Day.
This young artist is now well established worldwide in contemporary art, much appreciated for his little dogs baloon inspired by Koons but placing them in irreverent acts just for his mocking nature.
He has imposed himself with his works within the world of Toy Art.
