22 Artists, 1 sculpter & a shit load of paint, by Grafter on Mar 25, 2009 21:20:23 GMT 1, OK, a while back I was approached and offered an amazing space and asked to get a show together for the Easter weekend. So, I had a think, run it by a few pals and decided to go for it. After a couple of days hitting the phone telling people what I was up to I'd managed to get solid commitments from a number of artists both well known and some who may be new to you but show incredible talent. There are also a few legends of UK Graff in there who very rarely produce commercial work.
The end result is.......
There will be a range of work, both Originals and Prints, by all artists and plenty of beer.
On Easter Saturday 11th April we will be holding a live paint by most of the artists involved, plus a few guests, outside the gallery. They will be painting a selection of boards/canvas and you will be able to watch the pieces being made and, if you like what you see, approach the artist, buy it and take it home with you.
We are also encouraging people to bring objects along with them that they would like painted, the more unusual the better, and get their favourite artist to hit it up. We've already got one guy bringing his van, coffee table and living room door with him so it promises to be lively.
If you would like to know more or be added to the guest list for Thursday 9th then please register at grafter_pics@yahoo.com or on the website at www.gallery90.co.uk/
Thanks for listening and see you in April.

For those of you who might not know of DON's work, he has been a top writer since well back in the day and he very rarely produces commercial work. I'm delihted to have been able to pursade him to get in on this. I'll post some more of his work when I get a chance.

I spoke to DON this morning and he is buzzin' about the reaction to his piece and is busy getting things sorted with it for the show. I'll be sure to let you all know as soon as something is finalized.
Whoever said Blam is an underated talent is spot on. For those of you who don't know he is responsible for the "Oscar the grouch" piece at Old Street amongst many others.
I am out at the moment but when I get in I'm going to post links to all the participating artists sites so that you can check their work out for yourself.

22 Artists, 1 sculpter & a shit load of paint, by Grafter on Mar 28, 2009 10:27:48 GMT 1, Hey Poppy,
You can check out some more of DON's work on his Flickr here; www.flickr.com/photos/21469033@N06/ he's still working on the editions for the show and i'll let you know as soon as any details are finalised.
If anyone's at a loose end this afternoon and in the area, feel free to pop into the gallery. Blam is going to be painting his piece for the show and DON will be painting also. I will be doing a few bits and pieces and I have quite a few of the guys involved dropping their work for the show off during the day. We'll be there from about midday onwards.
We are starting to get work in and the quality is beyond anything I'd have hoped for. Got this little belter from Finbar (DAC) yesterday.....
It will be a Hand Sprayed Paper edition of 25 and will be exclusive to this show.
We will also have the Hand Finished versions of Snik's "Night Beauty" print......
10 layer screen print hand finshed with spray paint.
I'll post some more pic's soon of lot's of the other stuff and I know that Rourke Van Dal is keen to show you all a brand new piece he's only just finished.
