Rising twentysomething artist Cartrain shot into the public eye in 2009 after Damien Hirst took him to court for featuring a photograph of his artwork For the Love of God in a portrait created of Hirst by Cartrain.

The artist courted controversy once again when he later removed a packet of Faber Castell 1990 Mongol 482 series pencils from Hirst's installation, Pharmacy, at Tate and was subsequently arrested for £500k worth of theft and faced charges for what could be considered the biggest art theft in British history. Charges against Cartrain were later dropped, and in the years following he has continued to create his artworks which provide a social commentary, using images of Mickey Mouse, the iconic Louis Vuitton print, The Queen and George Bush among other things. 2015 sees the rising star stage his first solo exhibition at London gallery Imitate Modern, no doubt featuring his classic style dubbed 'post-street'.
