Prolific UK graffiti artist Helch dies

Street artist Helch, whose distinctive tag appeared across London and on major motorway bridges, has died, his gallery said.

He rose to prominence in 2018 after painting the name “Helch” in capital letters across public spots in London and on bridges over the M4, M1 and M25.

The artist became known for murals and tags across England. His work helped make the name Helch a familiar sight in public spaces across southern England.
