Seb Burdon

Whatshisname (aka Sebastian Burdon) fuses architectural visualisation and themes of childhood, nostalgia and pop culture to create artworks that inspire happiness, while exploring our adult psyches. His witty creative alias - inspired by his difficulty remembering artists’ names - reflects his creative style.

Sebastian grew up in eastern Poland and at the age of seven, began to create imagery using an ATARI® 130XE™ computer. Because of his dyslexia, visual imagery was his way of understanding the world, with television programmes and films having a huge impact on his creative style.

After studying IT in Warsaw, he moved to London, studied at Kingston University and became an assistant for Mat Collishaw, a prominent member of the Young British Artists alongside Damien Hirst. At the time, 3D-printing technology was becoming more popular and affordable, giving him the freedom to combine his technical knowledge and artistic 3D experience
