Helch
British graffiti artist (died 2026)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Helch (1991 or 1992 – August 2026), often stylised as HELCH, was the tag of a pseudonymous graffiti artist, who operated mainly in the United Kingdom, and was known for his stylised capital lettering. Brought up in Hayes, Hillingdon,[1][2] Helch first came to public prominence in 2018 with his alteration of the "give peas a chance" graffiti on the Chalfont Viaduct over the M25 to "helch: a chance taken"[3] and later "give helch a break".[4][5][6] The Helch tag later spread across walls and rooftoops across London, in increasingly stylised forms in a range of colours, either alone, or as a wider set of slogans, or sometimes just as an ornate letter 'H'.[7][8][9]
