Collection: Whatshisname | Artist

Whatshisname is the alias of Sebastian Burden, a British pop artist born in eastern Poland in 1982, who today lives and works in London. He started creating digital art at the age of seven on an Atari 130 XE, and after moving to London in 2006 and working as an assistant to well-established British artists, Sebastian now creates using both digital and traditional mediums.

The aim of his contemporary pop art is to express what cannot be expressed with words, encouraging the viewer to look at the surrounding world and question it in a derisive, unorthodox way. His signature balloon dog sculptures and limited-edition prints playfully subvert familiar imagery, turning childhood innocence into bold, collectable contemporary art.

The alias 'Whatshisname' is inspired by his trouble remembering other artists' names and by the Green Day song 'Whatshername'.

Whatshisname's limited-edition prints and sculptures are sought after by collectors of contemporary pop art, urban art and playful British art looking for bold, witty pieces that make people smile and think.
