The team went down to Kicks N Canvas on Thursday night to have a few gratis drinks, hang out and check the work on display. We’ve got this neat video from Richie over at Nerdbanite, so thanks to them for the heads up!
“The Kicks N Canvas exhibition was organised by our friends over at SoleHeaven. Bringing together a love for Kicks & Art, 21 artists were asked to individually customise a pair of fresh white Nikes, their vision also overflowing onto 50×50cm canvases. Creativity sourced from the likes of: Goldie, ATG, Insa, Inkie and Ben Frost.
Be sure to get down there quickly as all items are up for sale with viewings closing on April 18th. If you can’t make it down then be sure to watch our video (thanks RohanBM) from last night’s opening night.”
What would you do with this blank wall? Have your say and spark debate. If you’re a street artist, aged 11-25, and would like to paint this space as a part of the Counted project, The Roundhouse want to know. You can peep the brief after the jump…
As Eelus gears up for his show ‘The Colour Out of Space‘, here’s a sneak peek at one of the works entitled ‘Firestarter’ heading into the exhibition. We like.
Back in June 2005 a group of street / graffiti artists took over the walls of an abandoned East London bus depot/ crack den in Dalston. Hooked Blog were there and took a bunch of photographs and have recently unearthed them and made them into this nice little video, enjoy.
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.”
Babelgum are awarding the best street art video loads of money as a prize, £5,000 to be exact, as well as the opportunity for the video to be shown on Times Square’s infamous electronic billboards.
We've been involved in the art world in one way or another for years now and thought it was probably about time to set something up ourselves.
Our aim is to provide you with a destination to find out about everything going on in UK galleries, on our streets and anywhere else in the world that our wealth of talented artists might have passed through.
