ThankYouX is a Los Angeles painter who began his career in 2009 as an anonymous street artist before developing a practice built on geometric forms and layered abstraction.In 2020 he began creating blockchain-based digital artwork, extending a practice that spans painting, sculpture and digital media.,
While working by day as a graphic artist and art director, he painted anonymously at night, gradually shifting from street art into geometric abstraction.His practice grew to include large-scale murals, paintings and sculpture, with a solo show, “Inertia”, at Sotheby's gallery in Los Angeles, and his work has been included at institutions such as the Museum of the Future in Dubai and the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art.,He has also collaborated with the composer Hans Zimmer and completed a commission for Snapchat's Los Angeles headquarters, and produced State of the Art, a project combining digital and physical elements.
In December 2024 he exhibited Building Bridges, an acrylic and latex painting on canvas, at Untitled Miami Art Fair through Kate Vass Galerie.In October 2025 he presented “Harmony >< Tension” in Paris through Fellowship, a series pairing paintings, including canvases with embedded screens, with digital animations that explore the tension between a painting's physical presence and its flattened afterlife as a digital image. He has described the approach as starting with the painting, “I want the digital pieces to have that physical feeling of what I created in the real world”.At “Zero 10”, Art Basel Hong Kong's digital art sector, he presented Before Words with the artist Claire Silver, exploring perception before it settles into meaning.
