Prefab77
"Shot at from Both Sides"

November 13th 2009 :: 8pm - 12am

"PREFAB is an art collective Based in the North east of England.
After years of serving the corporate needs of the design industry the trio found they had something more profound to say, so PREFAB was born, a voice to their desires and frustrations.
They found that combining their talents and interests in urban art they could be part of something much more fulfilling.
Prefabs work combines various artistic mediums including a mixture of acrylic, spray-paint, varnish and inks, mainly on wood or paper. Their work can often be seen beyond the studio and onto the street in the form of wheatpastes and large building scale pieces.
Over time Prefab have developed a distinct, dark feeling to their work which is often satirical of british life and it’s fading institutions. It also embodies their interests in illustration, politics and graphic design.
Their latest show “Shot at from both sides” is Prefabs first solo show outside the UK. The work draws inspiration from both sides of the Atlantic, the ‘special relationship’ and true to the prefab ethos offers a reflection of all our popped aspirations as well as poking fun at them!
It’s time to stop believing in authority and start believing in each other!"

Prefab Show Online

The Prefab77 show's gonna go live online at 8pm on November 13th, so you can get your hands on some originals or the two print editions that will be released with the show without having to actually make the hike to Kentucky.

Also, there'll be a private preview to view and purchase before the public can get to the pieces. Anyone can PM me (or email [e-mail] with "Private Preview" in the subject) if they want on the preview list... the TRUE Prefab lovers should get a shot before the average joe, eh?

Cheers.

Good job Mark and the team.

Britannia is absolutley beautiful guys!!

[G-Man]

Killer Queen and Brittannia prints for me please Prefab?

Great images

[Prefab77]

The BLDG have started work on Britannia... the print is a regular matte black ink, with a second layer in a gloss varnish, which brings out the background...

Images of the process here :

[Prefab77]

There appears to be some confusion on UK people getting their hands on the prints, few emails...

The prints are officially released at that time, but any UK customers can contact us direct now. We're bringing some back to the UK to keep shipping / customs costs right down. [e-mail].
