Ethan Lemon (b. 2000) is a British painter whose practice merges figurative and landscape elements into bold, dynamic compositions. Drawing inspiration from the contrasts between urban life and drives across the British countryside, as well as his extensive travels abroad, Lemon’s work reflects a dialogue between movement, place, and memories. 

 

With roots in the graffiti and street art scene, where he honed his craft for over a decade, Lemon’s signature style incorporates spray paint, acrylic, and markers across both canvas and large scale mural works. His background in street art continues to inform his approach, bringing immediacy and rhythm to his studio practice.

 

Originally from Stoke-on-Trent, Lemon spent several years in Manchester before relocating to Sheffield, where he is a studio holder and director at Kelham Island Arts Collective. He regularly exhibits in group shows across England and has painted murals internationally in Toronto, Los Angeles, and Melbourne.
