At the age of fifteen, Sunil skipped school one afternoon, and walked into the North London offices of music legends, Soul II Soul with a bag full of paintings, he sold everyone of them. Seventeen years later and painting and Djing are still a very big part of his life.
One of the pioneers of the British stencil art scene his work embraces the urban art and dj culture of London. Sunil was featured in the book 'Stencil Graffiti' by Tristan Manco and regularly appears in exhibitions, magazines and books worldwide.
Sunil's art echoes his world of Dj culture, sound system clashes and graffiti art and fashion, using a bold mixture of spraypaints and acrylics. His paintings are as loud and bold as the music that inspired them - Pawar achieves a balance between imposing, graphic images and lyrical abstraction, demonstrating his mastery of color and composition.
