Be quick, as The Arts Gallery (part of the University of Arts London) will be no more come February as the Crossrail development takes over and demolishes the place. A suitably fitting exhibition takes place until then, by former student, Mike Ballard.

“The All Of Everything” is an all-encompassing takeover of the floors, walls and ceilings with bold, black and white graphics vying for your attention. The UKSA team will be hitting the exhibition this week, but until then, the shots above give a small taster of what’s on offer.

Mr Walker kindly pinged us a couple of pics of his work out in sunny Lisbon and as you can see it’s top quality stuff. Here’s a few words from the man himself:

“I was recently invited by Vhils to Lisbon as a guest painter at the annual VSP (Visual Street Performance) show. VSP is an annual live painting event which takes place in the Portuguese cities of Porto and Lisbon. This year VSP took over a huge semi-derelict school in the heart of Lisbon to be decorated by a host of Portuguese talent (including Vhils, Hium, Klit, Mosaik and more) . Previous guests include CASE, Xenz, Sickboy. I spent an amazing 5 days there painting, meeting all the crew, eating great seafood and talking to some very passionate and inspiring artists and art lovers. Thanks to all that made it a great trip.”

That’s it for now from the Sickboy vault.

Here’s a teaser:

DazedDigital: Is street art kind of dead now that it’s been so heavily appropriated by the art market?
Mike Ballard: I’m sure there’s a lot of people who made money from the street art bubble that peaked a few years ago. It’s hard to be knocked out by graffitti art now because there’s so much out there and the graffiti bracket is so limiting, but there are still loads of great people coming through. I think I’ve really moved beyong the street art tag now.
