Guy Batey | About

About

I was born in Leicester and grew up in Bath. I studied typography at Reading University and went to art school in London.

I’ve made a living as an abstract painter and photographer, as a cycle courier and bass player in an African punk jazz band, and I now work as a graphic designer for green-related NGOs.

I moved to Berlin in 2013, where I have permanent residence. I've exhibited my paintings and photographs in the UK and Germany.
