Paul Busk is a Vienna-based artist and designer whose highly conceptual work has been shaping the city's street art and graphic design scene since he co-founded CMOD (Citymodification) in 2001. Known for his iconic monkey head character and bold typographic compositions, his practice moves fluidly between graffiti, illustration, and commercial design. Busk was featured in the Streetartpassage Open Archive at the MuseumsQuartier and in Takeover - Street Art & Skateboarding at Wien Museum (2019), a landmark show that brought together over 30 key figures of Vienna's graffiti and street art scene shortly before the museum's major renovation.
Like a Vandal distills Busk's graffiti roots into a two-color screen print - his signature monkey head rendered with the directness of a tags-to-canvas translation. The title is pure self-aware street art humor: the vandal as artist, the artist as vandal.
