  • Graffiti artist Helch died this week at 34 years old.

Graffiti artist Helch, known for his towering tags across the UK, has died this week at the age of 34. His work, which included a giant 'HELCH' or a simple upper-case 'H', marked railway bridges, motorway overpasses, derelict buildings, and high rises.

Helch's tags were visible from Bristol to London. One notable instance was a 60ft high white tag on a railway viaduct on the way to Windsor Castle, which reportedly upset Queen Elizabeth II.

His gallery, BSMT Space, stated in an Instagram post that "an urban landscape without an H in it seems unfathomable," noting his work defined the look of late 2010s Britain.
