Antigirl

Antigirl is the professional name of Tiphanie Brooke, an American multidisciplinary artist and graphic designer born in the early 1980s. She is best known for her series of heart paintings, her street art and her collages. Her work pairs a sweet look with a punk attitude, and sits between graphic design and street art.

Brooke grew up in Phoenix, Arizona, and studied at Phoenix College and at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. Her heart series began in 2009 with a set of prints and has grown into a broad project that includes installations, exhibitions and commissions. She works in mixed media, combining papers, inks, paints, screen printing, photography and digital alterations. During her years in Phoenix she pasted prints of her work on abandoned buildings and in alleys, and later moved on to murals, such as the one she painted for Los Angeles in the Sunset Junction neighborhood.

Her first solo show, Tart, was presented in Calgary in 2005. In 2014 she exhibited at the W Hotel in Los Angeles and soon after opened her first glow-in-the-dark exhibit at The Standard Hotel. As a designer she has worked for magazines including The New Yorker and The New York Times.
