Felix FLX Braun

Felix Braun is a contemporary fine artist and muralist, living and working in Bristol, UK. A graduate of the first wave of British graffiti and street art, he began painting walls in Bristol in 1984, picking up the moniker FLX along the way.

Achieving a BA in Visual Communication at the University of Central England in Birmingham, Felix later went on to study youth work at City of Bristol College; going on to facilitate community arts, painting murals and related youth arts projects, alongside his arts practice, over the next 15 years.

Always a keen documenter – and occasional media commentator – of graffiti and street art, in 2008 Felix published his first book Children of the Can: 25 Years of Bristol Graffiti (Tangent Books), which he followed up with an expanded second edition in 2012.

Felix also co-founded the murals collective Paintsmiths of Bristol, whose large-scale works celebrating the life of Nelson Mandela and parodying the ‘special relationship’ between Donald Trump and Boris Johnson, gained global media attention.

These days Felix focuses on his personal studio practice and solo mural/public art projects.
