We went down to the Corked exhibition by Urban Angel this past Thursday and it was a feast for the eyes. A really nice space in the middle of a rather swanky Mayfair. It was funny to see this sort of set up right under the eyes of all those snooty, Ferrari-driving suits. There’s a selection of images from the show after the jump and as usual, they’re provided by Ian of Wallkandy.net

Todd James aka REAS will be presenting an exhibition of new work entitled “Blood & Treasure” at the Laz Gallery on Greek Street on the 29th August.
James is an internationally recognised artist who was a co-creator of the seminal Street Market exhibition at Deitch Projects in New York, which was selected for the Venice Biennale in 2001. James’ work has also been shown at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Philadelphia, the Tate Museum in Liverpool, the Parco gallery in Tokyo, and the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco
Laz go onto explain that:
Protest images marked out in cartoon outrage, filled with recycled advertising cast-offs and corrupted child scrawls, these large-scale works of gouache and graphite smash the distance between death and jokes and between the viewer and what he or she probably goes around trying not to know about the present state of things.
Head down to the gallery on the 29th to get an insight into an artist who takes his work seriously but through cartoons!

So the BRP had the Big Issue Charity Show on Saturday and it seems to have a been a great success, raising a lot of money for charity. There’s a huge thread over on Banksy.info with more photos and a whole load of discussion on prices and which pieces people thought were the best and worst.
We’ve got a selection of images from Wallkandy.net - so as ever, thanks to Ian over there for providing us with top notch photos. Gallery after the jump.

StolenSpace are preparing for the 1st London solo show by Mr Jago. The show will include new work on canvas, silk, wood & installations, and there will be a release of 2 new limited edition screen prints.
‘I see figures & form everywhere, in water, carpet patterns, shadows, clouds, everything is an abstract character and they are free’
‘Of all weather phenomena, I find clouds the most fascinating, from the silky filaments of high altitude cirrus to the towering, threatening mass of storm-bearing cumulonimbus, clouds are as varied as the new work itself. I love cloud watching, from no where the fluffy mass morphing shapes from a cunning fox with whispy ears to familiar faces ’
The show is set to open on the 12th September through to the 28th and is a must for any fans of his work. For further information, check out the site

Kicking the London leg of Secret Wars off in style last week were messrs Jimi Crayon and Stika. A closely fought battle ended perhaps controversially with Stika sneaking through to the next round with his ‘not to do list’.
Next up to do battle at the Secret Wars rightful home, Juno Bar (134 -135 Shoreditch High St), are Sumit Sarkar and Mr K on August 9.
For more information on Secret Wars check the Monorex blog here.

Italian stencil artists Sten & Lex went to Brighton last week, and went down to Art Republic where they created a special limited edition for the gallery/print stockist.
‘In Aeternum Gloriae’ (Glory Forever) is a signed and numbered silkscreen print with gold spray paint on 400gsm Velin Arches Blanc, a richly textured heavy weight paper stock. They’ve published two editions; extra large (105 x 80cm) which is a special edition of just 10 and small (50 x 65cm) an edition of 50.
More details on the print
If you’re likely to be in London this Thursday (31st July), there’s a special invite only evening at the artrepublic Soho gallery. The evening will include the launch of the Sten & Lex print (as well as many other not-to-be-missed attractions).

Urban Angel are set to shake up the World famous Cork Street when they hold their first show on August 14th 2008. The show features 19 artists and will have a mix of stencil art, graffiti art and sculpture.
Artists on the roster include the legendary EINE, who acknowledged as one of, if not, the most prolific street artist working in the UK today. The show also features Zeus, SHOK-1 and Inkie, all of which have a street pedigree that is second to none, and have worked alongside the likes of Banksy, Os Gemeos, Nick Walker and many others.
This show also features Dotmasters and Hush, both of whom were invited to paint at Banksy’s CANS Festival earlier this year.
The show will feature around 50 paintings, with the prints being released on Saturday 16th August from the gallery. This is going to be a sell-out event so get ready for one of the big ones of the year.
