The Artistic Journey of Iain Cadby
Iain Cadby is an English artist and designer known for his text and image-based street art posters. His large-scale artworks can often be found on the walls of Soho in London. Born in 1970 in London, Iain was encouraged to pursue art by his Cartier jewellery designer father and painter mother. After completing a Master's at Central St. Martins College of Art, he collaborated with Elms Lesters Painting Rooms, designing books and posters for renowned artists like Ron English and Invader. His street art, created under the pseudonym SMiLE, blends playful and dark elements, akin to the social commentary of 1980s New York artists Jenny Holzer and Barbara Kruger. Iain has since shifted to creating screen prints with London's premier printmakers.
