"Pegasus" is the pseudonym and signature of a North London street artist. The artist, born 1988, is originally from Chicago but best known for his work in England. His stencilled pieces play with popular culture's most recognizable icons, including Marilyn Monroe, JFK, Amy Winehouse, and Lucille Ball, and sometimes are ironic or controversial. The artist has stated that his influences include "the genius Andy Warhol. I also admire other artists such as Robert Rauschenberg, Keith Haring, Mr. Brainwash, Darren West the Neon Artist, Horace Panter, Eelus and of course Mr. Banksy."[1] He told Evening Standard that always listens to Madonna as he works and his work "tends to have elements of her character".[2]
As well as designing the front cover of the publication Encyclopedia Madonnica by Matthew Rettenmund, Pegasus is featured in two books published in 2013. They are titled Happy Graffiti and 'Planet Banksy.[3]
