Mister E

United States, b. 1987

Biography

Mister E is a contemporary American artist known for his creative use of rainbow-colored 100 hundred dollar bills and the celebrity clientele who purchases his work. By giving banknotes a more playful look, Mister E hopes to alter its perception as something evil to an icon of hope. “Through my work, I want to expose the beautiful side of money. Money represents freedom, it should inspire people to work hard, and motivate everyone. Money can allow people to have freedom to do what they choose, be charitable, live stress free,” he has explained. “I am trying to bridge the gap between the 1% and the 99%. People talk so much about social inequality and the unfair distribution of wealth, but we are not going to make any progress is there is no communication between the two.” Born in 1987 in the United States, Mister E keeps his birth name private. He studied construction design and real estate in college before working on construction sites during the mid-2000s. In 2013, he left his job and rented a space which he subsequently used as gallery to show his early works. Since then, he has moved his operation into a 10,000 sq. ft warehouse replete with a full bar, pool table, and movie room. His works are held in the collections of Miley Cyrus, Floyd Mayweather, and Adam Sandler, among others.
