The Bobby Fischer Of Drawing

 

Born in 1983, Listen04 is the product of a tractor mechanic, a young high school drop out and a broken condom.

His father would go on to commit suicide when the young artist was just five years old, leaving him to find his own way in a world full of questions.

Listen04’s work is him attempting to answer those questions, with a combination of drawing, painting and sculpture, and disproportionately low levels of serotonin.
