Charles Uzzell-Edwards, also known as Pure Evil, is an UK based graffiti artist who most often depicts portraits of celebrities accompanied by the artist’s iconic under eye drips. Pure Evil first became inspired after relocating to California and becoming exposed to the street art of the West Coast. After Pure Evil moved back to London, he became integrated with Banksy’s pop up shop at the time Santa’s Ghetto.

Pure Evil has had solo and group exhibitions since the early 2000’s and remains a staple of street art both in the UK and across the globe.
