One aspect of street art that is particularly attractive is the social commentary that can accompany each piece in meaning and placement. Two artists that have shown interest in bringing attention to different political causes are C215 and Bruno Leyval as evidenced by some of their Tibetian themed art (covered).
For the show “Justice,” they have teamed up with three other artists (Dan23, Least Wanted and MC1984) in a concept show at Long Arm Gallery based on themes of Law and Order that they have been committed to for the past three months. Featuring site specific installations, photography, prints, stencils and a range of new original work, the show is made all the more powerful with its placement within the oppressive environment of the old Bridewell Police Station.
