Ugly Drugless

Ugly Drugless is a boundary-pushing multidisciplinary artist from the United Kingdom, known for their confrontational yet deeply vulnerable explorations of modern alienation, identity, and digital culture. Blending visual art, performance, and experimental music, Ugly Drugless challenges societal norms through a raw, unfiltered lens, often incorporating found objects, internet detritus, and glitch aesthetics into their immersive installations. Born and raised in the post-industrial outskirts of Manchester, they draw on both the grit and resilience of their environment, channeling stark autobiographical elements into work that refuses easy categorization.

Since emerging on the underground art scene in the late 2010s, Ugly Drugless has exhibited internationally, captivating audiences with a signature blend of dark humor, poignant commentary, and a relentless DIY ethos. Their work has been featured in alternative galleries, digital platforms, and collaborative projects, earning a cult following among avant-garde circles and continually pushing the limits of what contemporary art can be.
