More about Helch
Born: 1992.
Also known as: HELCH.
Helch, the British graffiti artist known for his stylised capital lettering and widely seen HELCH tag, died on August 29, 2026, aged 34.
Operating mainly in the United Kingdom, he came to public attention in 2018 after altering the “give peas a chance” graffiti on the Chalfont Viaduct over the M25 to read “helch: a chance taken,” later followed by “give helch a break.” Brought up in Hayes, Hillingdon, he built a public profile around a pseudonymous practice that spread across walls and rooftops in London, appearing in varied colours and forms, sometimes as slogans and sometimes as a single ornate letter H. He was also referred to as HELCH and was described within the art community as “The Roller King” for the roller-painted style associated with his work.
