Spray can realism: Meet the pioneer artist who changed the face of graffiti in the UK

Artist Arron Bird, aka Temper, picked up a spray can for the first time aged 11. Back then his hands were so small he had to use two fingers to push the nozzle down but he immediately knew graffiti was going to change his life.

“I can only put it down as parallel to finding God,” describes Temper. “I knew it was going to be with me for the rest of my life … It was going to be my saviour.”

He wasn’t wrong. Temper’s incredible talent, in particular for realism, changed the public perception of graffiti and what was possible with an aerosol can.
