DNZ

DNZ (also stylised D.N.Z) is an anonymous street artist whose works have appeared in London, Wales, Denver, Florida and Los Angeles. His stencilled murals, sometimes compared to Banksy, mix political, symbolic, and figurative themes, while maintaining the artist's anonymity.

Street work DNZ's street art has appeared in several parts of the United Kingdom and abroad.

In Hackney, London, he created a piece titled Strung along lover on 25 February beside a red phone box on Southgate Road. A video on his Instagram shows the artist stencilling a silhouette of a woman connected by phone-line to the box. He has also painted near Belsize Park tube station, including imagery of a child in a gas mask under the words "World War Free". In January 2025, he produced a series of five murals across Denbighshire and Flintshire: a cow in Mold (on the Tafarn Derwen pub), an owl in a Trefnant bus shelter, a knight on horseback in Ruthin (interpreted as Owain Glyndŵr), a pheasant in St Asaph, and a boy with an umbrella on Rhyl promenade.

Another early mural in Rhos on Sea – depicting an angler hooking a fish-shaped bikini bra – vanished within 12 hours of being completed. Painted on metal sheeting covering a property, the sheets were removed and taken. The thieves assuming that due to its style, it was a Banksy.

In Denbigh, additional works including pigeons, rabbits, and ants appeared in 2024, again sparking speculation about Banksy before DNZ claimed them.

Outside the UK, DNZ's works have appeared on the streets of Denver and Florida in the United States, and he has also painted pieces in Los Angeles.
