Monopoly holding $box with pink $ bags (2020) Painting by Alec Monopoly

"Alec Monopoly" is the chosen alias of an anonymous graffiti artist originally from New York. This artist has left his mark in urban landscapes across New York, Miami, Los Angeles, Europe, and various parts of Asia. Employing a diverse range of materials such as stencils, spray paint, epoxies, varnishes, and newspapers, Alec Monopoly subversively portrays iconic characters from pop culture. 

Alec Monopoly's notable presence and artwork have garnered attention from esteemed publications like The Wall Street Journal, The London Times, The New York Post, Rolling Stone, Playboy Magazine, Billboard Magazine, Vibe, The Huffington Post, Complex Magazine, Juxtapoz, and The Dirt Floor, as well as numerous art and lifestyle blogs. Paramount Pictures enlisted Alec Monopoly to design the logo for its production company, INSURGE.

Having achieved international acclaim, Alec Monopoly has been sought after for prominent collaborations with notable entities such as The W Hotel, Philipp Plein, TAG Heuer, Vitamin Water, Avicii, and CoverGirl. Distinguishing himself from other street artists, Monopoly consciously avoids vandalism by predominantly painting on abandoned buildings and warehouses rather than government properties or businesses. The choice to adopt the iconic board game character Mr. Monopoly as his mascot was inspired by the notorious stockbroker Bernie Madoff, serving as a critical commentary on billion-dollar bailouts and the deregulation associated with major financial institutions.
