Releases: AJ Fosik – “Shining Deathless” Print

Posted by sven, June 11, 2013

Sculptor AJ Fosik (see our studio visit here) is known for his wood-bashing skills, but in a slight departure from his more recent medium of choice, he is due to release a limited print this week. Shining Deathless bridges the gap between his sculpture and the print medium by the use of relief on this embossed, hand finished print (see the hand-carved brass used in the process below). The print comes in at 13” x 18” paper size with deckle edge and is signed and numbered in […]

Showing: D*Face – ‘New World Disorder’ @ StolenSpace

Posted by sven, June 11, 2013

D*Face has been a leading light of London’s street art scene for more than a decade and was a key member of the Finders Keepers crew that really kicked off the Shoreditch street art activity. On occasion of his first solo London show in 5 years – New World Disorder – it is fitting to mark a seismic transition as D*Face, the Stolen Space Gallery, and all D*Face’s well-known space sharing cohorts up sticks to pastures new and as yet unannounced. Outside the gallery the visual puns […]

Photography: London Street Art Photography Workshops with NoLionsInEngland

Posted by sven, June 6, 2013

We’ve all heard of street art tours. Their very existence as a tourist attraction shows just how big street art has become over recent years and how wide its appeal has grown. Whilst many view some of the street art tours as parasitic, our friend NoLionsInEngland has something completely different to offer for the budding street art photographer. NoLions has been at it for years and has put in some serious hours documenting London’s ever changing graffiti and street art landscape. You may well be familiar with […]

Preview: D*Face – “New World Disorder” @ StolenSpace

Posted by sven, June 5, 2013

D*Face (interviewed) is putting the finishing touches to his fast approaching show at Stolenspace this week. New World Disorder will feature a series of all-new work, with an emphasis on consumer and social issues, from the pop culture jammer. Our friend Ian Cox visited D’s studio recently and caught the artist in the final throes of preparation of work for the show. The exhibition looks like a strong body of work and further development of some of the themes and items that we’ve seen him using recently, such […]

Openings: Remi Rough & RCF1 ‘Excuse My French’ @ La Galerie Celal

Posted by sven, June 5, 2013

Excuse My French opened at La Galerie Celal a couple of weeks back and features the work of Remi Rough and RCF1. The cross channel 2-person show brought together the London and Paris-based artists that have followed similar career trajectories over the last 20 years since first putting in their time on the streets. Local old guard Quik, Sharp, Ogre and Alex One made appearances to show support at the opening event. Whilst they speak different languages both verbally and visually, the pair used a complimentary colour […]

Preview: Ryan Bubnis & Lucas Irwin – “Black & Blue” @ 1975 Gallery

Posted by sven, May 23, 2013

Black and Blue is an upcoming two-person exhibition featuring Ryan Bubnis and Lucas Irwin. The pair have set themselves the challenge of dealing with a limited colour palette for the artwork within the exhibition which will feature work from a variety of mediums including painting, drawing and sculpture. As well as their own individual works, the pair are also planning to present some collaborative pieces. We’re excited to see how they respond to their self imposed constraints, but the black and blue (and all hues in […]

International art collective Agents of Change recently opened a group showing at David Bloch Gallery in Marrakech. Entitled Unfolding, the showing brought together Steve More, Derm, Carlos Mare, LX One, Remi Rough and Jaybo. The AoC cast is ever expanding and contains different styles of art brought in by the widely cast influences of the collective group. Unfolding focuses of just six of the whole twelve, and hones down on some of the more angular, geometrically inspired members of the collective. Painting, collage and sculpture combine within […]
