As the ‘Adam and Ron show’ draws to an end (there’s still a few Ron English prints left btw), Elms Lesters are starting to get ready for their next arrival - Delta from Holland. Opening on June 6 it’ll be the dutch master’s first solo UK show and to be fair it’s long overdue.

Starting out tagging the streets of Amsterdam back in 1984, Boris Tellegen AKA Delta, is now an internationally acclaimed artist renowned for his complex and unique style. In short, he’s sik.

More photos after the jump…
