BIO

Cbloxx (b. 1983) is an internationally recognised multidisciplinary artist working across large-scale muralism, painting, and stone sculpture.  Born in a former mill town in Yorkshire, UK, they first gained international recognition as the co-founder of pioneering queer street art duo Nomad Clan, before returning to solo practice following a formative period living and working in Los Angeles, culminating in a major public commission for UNESCO’s World Art Day.

Their practice is rooted in site-specific research, responding to geology, archaeology, and ancestral narratives to explore environmental awareness, spirituality, and historical memory.

ARTIST STATEMENT

​

Cbloxx’s practice investigates cultural erasure as a systemic process shaped by colonisation, institutional power, capitalism, and technological acceleration. Working across large-scale muralism, painting, and stone carving, they draw upon ancient indigenous civilizations, petroglyphs, and relics to explore how indigenous histories, identities, and sacred knowledge are suppressed, displaced, or rewritten.

Central to their work is a critique of museum collections and archival systems, examining the ethical and spiritual contradictions embedded in the preservation and display of stolen cultural objects. These tensions are approached through acts of re-inscription, transforming public space into a site of resistance, remembrance, and cultural continuity.

As one of the first openly out trans street artists, Cbloxx’s practice is also informed by a search for suppressed histories of gender fluidity, particularly in societies where non-binary identity remains embedded within spiritual and social structures. This personal inquiry merges with broader questions of historical visibility, power, and belonging.

Their work further examines how industrialisation, capitalism, and emerging technologies accelerate cultural and ecological entropy, severing humanity’s relationship with indigenous systems of care rooted in reciprocity with the natural world. In contrast, they look toward ancient societies whose longevity and minimal ecological footprint challenge contemporary models of progress, productivity, and dominance. Ultimately, Cbloxx’s practice seeks to reimagine alternative models of identity, sustainability, and collective memory in an era increasingly defined by digital abstraction and environmental collapse.
