Born in London, Ben Eine is one of the most successful letterform artists in the world and is regarded as a pioneer in the exploration of contemporary typography art.

Eine began painting huge, bright and colorful letters on shutters all over East London, creating beautiful forms executed with a relentless "graffiti mentality". These imposing and engaging, yet unattributed, anonymously-painted letters stood out from the usual tags seen on the streets. They caught the public's attention and were seminal in the rise of street art's popularity.

Eine's partnership with the, then emerging, London graffiti artist Banksy was hugely influential to the commercial success of both artists. In 2003 The pair set up the famous Pictures on Walls (POW) gallery, with a loose collective of other artists, in order to print and sell street art.

His work is now held in such permanent collections as the V&A Museum London, The Museum of Modern Art Los Angeles, San Francisco's Museum of Contemporary Art, as well as the private collection of Louis Vuitton and numerous other commercial institutions.
