Profile

Welcome to the online portfolio of visual artist Acerone.

“Myth must be kept alive. The people who can keep it alive are the artists of one kind or another.”
Joseph Campbell

Acerone (Palmer, L. b. 1978, Bristol, UK) is a visual artist born and educated in England.

Known for his contribution to the Bristol graffiti street art movement, Acerone has been an active visual artist since the mid 1990’s and continues to make photographic works and paintings both in the streets and on canvas that seek to explore the relationships between the static and the dynamic, simplicity and detail, and the past and the present.
