I was fortunate enough to be invited over to paint in Vitry this past weekend

The Jam has been arranged by C215 to bring over artists throughout the year to paint the streets of Vitry and put on exhibitions in The Loft project

I was put up for 5 days and got to paint alongside the likes of FAKE and Sly2 along with plenty of other amaing artists. I just painted solidfor 5 days, it was such a great place to be, so inspiring to be around such amazing artwork and a great open,light space!

Vitry is such a unique place in that there is a certain amount of freedom to put up work, under the guidance of Christian

It was far too cold for me to paint in the streets, so I will be returning in the spring to put some work up in the street

The list of artists going over to paint is amazing,including the likes of Dale Grimshaw and Snik next month so I can not begin to imagine how amazing the place is going to look in a year or so

Here are a few pictures of the weekend, and I strongly suggest you go over if you get the chance, it is literally 15 minutes Paris

Hey

Spent the whole of thursday and friday putting this beast up with the help of my man Joe
Its on Hanbury Street just off b
Brick Lane

Joseph Loughborough joined us on thursday to put 2 beauties of his own up

Was great fun and great to work on such a surface, think the brick really helps to bring the piece together
Was bloody hard work but worth while in the end I think

Is was really nice to paint something related to the area (its a bengali mother and child) and all the locals seemed to like it which was a really important. Had people of all ages and backgrounds coming to chat to us, was a really nice all round experience

[spirit]

Lovely mural Ben - no wonder the locals like it.

[Sacked...]

Good stuff Mr Slow.

[schlomo]

very nice Ben, looks ace. (nice pair of hats)

[lancer786]

Yes this kind of work always attracts people from all sides.

Great work and thoughts, keep it up!

[Blind Angle]

I love it!

cheers

Ragnar

[mylilly]

thats amazing!

[bs]

Thanks guys, will be doing a nice new piece out and about again at the weekend with Joseph Loughborough again and then a rather large wall near this one on brick lane when I can raise the money for a cherry picker

[bs]

We have been working on a little collaboration in the sun over the past few days, good fun to mix it up a bit and see what would happen

So this is what ended up coming together



The piece is called 'Closer Leon'

We both put down the background, my lighter tones and Joe's darker ones
Then Joe went to work with the charcoals and sculpted the face which I then went into with my inks, cans and pens before Joe finished off with a few final touches
Really good fun, nice to step out of your comfort zone and try something new

We are doing a joint exhibition out in Vitry, Paris at the end of June. We will be spending the whole of June out there as resident artists, putting the show together as well as doing some street work. Also a little trip to do some live painting at an art fair at the Louvre at the beginning of the month,

So if anyone is interested in the piece and wants to put in a sensible offer then hit either of us up, any money will be used to help us survive our month in Paris, be nice to afford some decent food every once in a while rather than the baked beans i can see us living on for most of the month, sniff sniff

'Closer Leon'
100cm X 70cm
Charcoal, ink, acrylic, marker and spraypaint on canvas

[Sliding on the Walls]

nice piece. Best of luck with the show

[Joseph Loughborough]

I think we will struggle to find baked beans over there ben!

Unless we stock up and take some out with us just in case!

[dutchfella]

If you have one and are willing to llet it go send me a PM

cheers

[Sacked...]

Artists are more creative when they are hungry.

'Let them eat cake'.

[Rourke]

Looks good guys
all the best with the show in Paris
