George the dog John the artist group show + artist list, by tartarus on Aug 18, 2013 10:35:44 GMT 1, From their Facebook page,
A huge list of artists and will be the biggest group show of recent memory! Sounds pretty dam good to me!!
For one week commencing 19th September, a unique exhibition of works by artist John Dolan. You may not think you know John Dolan, but he is East Londonโs most notorious artist. For the past three years Dolan has sat every day with his dog George on Shoreditch High Street documenting the surrounding architecture, elevating the old, decrepit buildings that are so often ignored and under-appreciated.
John Dolan has lived in London his whole life and has been drawing on Shoreditch High Street for the past three years. In the past, he has been in and out of prison and often found himself homeless. These days, Dolan is greeted by the likes of Gilbert and George as they walk past.
Dolanโs raw portrayals of the street lead a viewer to reconsider something that to them is merely a backdrop to their day. At the same time, he highlights how too often people living on the street are invisible to those walking past them. Dolanโs work asks us to open our eyes and see this city for what it really is. Dolanโs emphasis on repetition allows a unique insight into the changing face of what is now a highly fashionable, gentrified area. He represents the old Shoreditch, the unseen side that lies just below the surface.
An interesting facet of Dolanโs work is the way in which he documents the street art and graffiti that came to make Shoreditch the cultural capital it is today. For this exhibition, he has worked with some of the worldโs best street artists including ROA, Steve ESPO Powers, Sever, Gaia, David Walker, Stik, Remio, Nomers, Maser, Thierry Noir, RUN, Zomby, Christiaan Nagel, Phlegm, Ian Stevenson, Martin Ron, Liqen, Dscreet, Pablo Delgado, MadC, CEPT, C215, MadC, BRK and many others. A street artist in the traditional sense of the word, Dolan identifies with this new generation of street artists and them with him. These artists have collaborated with Dolan by working directly onto the walls of his drawn cityscapes, creating unique pieces. Ostensibly a solo show for Dolan, George the Dog, John the Artist will also in effect be the biggest street art group show of recent memory, bringing a unique group of artists together to document both the constant and the ephemeral in a city that is ever changing.

Not that stupid, for me I really like the idea of in situ street work and cityscape both coming indoors. Think it's a really good juxtaposition to the one we already have from all the street art images we already dragged indoors.
I also think Johns work will gain a fair bit more recognition than it has so far. His style of cityscape is pretty unusual and it seems to fit much more to the street art quirkiness than it does to mainstream cityscape painting.
I'm also fairly sure a few will buy only for the street artists that collaborated on them. But I'm also pretty sure they will see the magic in Johns work while its on their wall.
If you can get to the show, do. It's the only way you'll really see what I mean :-)

George the dog John the artist group show + artist list, by tartarus on Sept 6, 2013 19:32:23 GMT 1, Ok, this is what he said, but i dont think youll be liking it fingerbob! I called them prints too, oops!
All of the works (not prints - as they are in effect originals from each of the artists participating and they are un-numbered) are available for pre-sale. Enquiries can only be made by emailing info@howardgriffingallery.com. Appointments can be made for viewing pieces before the exhibition at our working studio in Shoreditch between 9AM and 7PM during the build up to the exhibition. Any remaining works will be sold on the night of the exhibition. The works will not be available online. John Dolan will also be producing a number of original works for the exhibition. The advertised artist list is also not definitive, further artists will join the exhibition.
