The Krah Locked Up

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

Don’t worry, it’s not like it sounds.

The Krah is still out making brilliant art and has found a way to effectively dodge the buffers. The Krah’s pieces have been attached to fences by padlocks and have, so far, dodged the pressure washers of the government employed buffers.

Part2ism

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

Part2ism is a difficult artist to summarise in a phrase or two. Whilst I’ll try, I don’t think I’ll do a particularly good job it at. Probably best to skip to the pictures below to truly appreciate the beauty of his pieces.

Part2ism is an artist with no boundaries and is always trying to break the moulds of the typical street artist. His art is thought provoking and his well rounded ladies are often controversial. With over two decades of gracing the streets with his pieces, his experience is certainly evident in his work. Part2ism’s works aren’t constricted by any medium, he uses a whole host of tools to their strengths from straight freehand aerosol to wheat pastes.

Below are two pictures showing Part2ism’s lady friends:

Here’s a great installation on the London tube. Difficult to put a finger on the meaning of it:

Lastly some pictures of Part2ism’s oldest work - fantastic freehand aerosol in York.

Flickr of the Week #20

Monday, November 17th, 2008

Stickers and wheatpastes are Lints speciality. And as slaps and wheatpastes go hand in hand with characters too, Lints has no short supply of great critters. Below is a lovely little chappy rather Pokemon-esk.

EDIT: Thanks to the comments guys pointing me in the right direction.

Environmental Art

Saturday, November 15th, 2008

Yesterday we looked at the Un-plugged project which raised awareness of our energy usage. Today, we continue that environmental theme by looking at work by Mr. Scruff and Paul ‘Curtis’ Moose (best known for his reverse graffiti).

Below is a brilliant little video about the ‘Fish on a hillside’.

Flickr of the Week #18

Monday, November 3rd, 2008

This weeks FOTW winner has some very weird characters which look awesome on the street. Rallito X seems to reside in Spain and has work up in Barcelona. A lot of his work is quite crude and consists of a lot of fallic images (god knows what goes on in his head, then again, maybe he’s not a guy).

Anyway, he deserves flickr of the week, if you check his flickr out you’ll see what I mean. Rallito’s work seems to consist mainly of wheatpastes which looks great for his creepy, fallic monsters.

New work from Farm

Monday, November 3rd, 2008

As a previous FOTW winner, Farm has already been recognised on Concrete Canvas as a very talented street artist. He’s recently been busy on a new piece which we also feels recognition.

The piece above has a clean colourscheme of greens, blacks and whites and is upto Farm’s usual standard of clean lines. Farm’s unique character also makes an appearance.

Disaster Strikes

Friday, October 31st, 2008

Little is known of Disaster Strikes except their work is extremely detailed and fantastic to see - even if it is through a computer screen I can only imagine what it must look like in person.

Disaster Strikes has some new halloween inspired pieces fresh up today:

Working with a variety of mediums, Disaster’s forte seems to lie with wheatpastes.
