Mark Lyken is a visual artist & musician based in Glasgow, Scotland. Growing up, his family moved between Scotland & South Africa, never remaining in one place for longer than a year or two. Lyken’s history as a graffiti artist stretches back to the eighties when he was one of the first writers active in Scotland. For a number of years, Lyken designed and published the graffiti magazine Skinnycap, as well as enjoying critical success with the electro band Voigt Kampff. He continues to record, travel & exhibit, applying his abstract style to different surfaces & mediums. Last year, Lyken curated the first Graffuturism exhibition, Rudimentary Perfection, at Recoat Gallery in Glasgow.
