Description PRIEST is a London based Contemporary street artist from New Zealand, working across painting and installation. His satirical style contrasts playful imagery with dark subject matters. Toys, cartoons and video games feature heavily in PRIEST’s practice, emphasizing the element of play that’s central to his approach. PAPER CUT is an installation created by PRIEST -at Saatchi Gallery from the 04/12/2025 to the 18/01/2026- . The installation reimagines childhood play as social archaeology, exposing the city’s hidden layers of class, chaos, and imitation. Beneath the colour lies London itself: the housing crisis, youth violence, influencer culture, and the weary humour of modern life.
