James Marshall, better known as Dalek, is an American painter best known for his Space Monkey character. He is also known for his photography, murals and illustrations.
In his youth, Marshall turned to punk rock, skateboarding and graffiti subcultures. His Space Monkey character was born out of graffiti, which he discovered in 1994 in the rail yards of California and later in Chicago. Marshall worked under the name Dalek to merge street art with influences from animation, Japanese pop, and the energy of the urban punk scene.
In 2001, he reached a major turning point in his studio practice while working as an assistant/apprentice to the world-renowned artist Takashi Murakami. Marshall’s work has been shown in galleries and museums across North America, Europe and Japan.
