Martin Creed is a British artist and musician and was born in 1968. He is best known for winning the Turner Prize in 2001.
For Creed there is no difference between making music and art and his work is often perceived as simplistic however it makes an immediate impact. He says he would not describe himself as an artist and that he creates art as a means of communication and because he wants to make things.
Over the past 25 years, he has cut an extraordinary path through the arts with his non-conformist approach.
