Fiesta in The Fields | Art-PieI do not know where you guys will be on Saturday but I will be at the ‘Feast In the Fields”

Colours of Brazil & the sexy sounds of Bossa Nova.

The creators of Feast in the Fields bring to you the flavours & samba beats of our current favourite South American hotspot in the form of FIESTA IN THE FIELDS!

Fiesta In The Fields, which kicks off at 12pm on Saturday 28th June, promises to be a carnival for all the senses. Be transported to the Copacabana with live world cup matches screened throughout the day, street food, A Cachaça shack, a line-up of live music & dancing that will make even two left feet move to the rhythm of the beat!

Hosts The Brewhouse, at London Fields Brewery, will be serving up South American Dishes to make your mouth dance, whilst Hell’s Grill gets naughty on the BBQ & El Panzon provide Tacos & Burritos from Brazil’s footballing neighbour Mexico. Keep as cool as a Caipirinha with Craft Beer from London Fields Brewery, Brazilian-inspired cocktails, The Pimms Bar & The Rum Stop.

#codefc show opens at Curious Duke gallery – 20:12

20:12, #codefc Olympic installationsWe had the chance to get a sneak preview of 20:12, #CODEFC’s London Olympics Installations show opening tomorrow at Curious Duke gallery on Whitecross street. The London-based artist’s 2 year long project is coming to maturation with this show and fits nicely the build up to the London 2012 Olympics.

Using stencil interventions onto London city landscapes, #codefc presents athletes’ imagery in all their splendour and vigour, performing the Olympian feats for which they are known against a backdrop of reconfigured and stretched Olympic rings, their faces replaced with cameras and camcorders – the artist’s signature mark.

The show breaks onto two floors in what is an awesome venue for exhibiting any work. A few pictures are included below of some of the artwork we noticed. We got there when Fab was putting up the stencils cut outs on the wall, you have below some pics of what could be an awesome mural. Come and find out tomorrow.

Curious Duke Gallery
207 Whitecross street, London EC1Y 8QP

Mehdi Ghadyanloo’s street art illusion

Meet Mehdi Ghadyanloo, a proficient street artist from Teheran, Israel.

The artist style is ‘illusion’ and his works always need you to look again and again to understand what it is all about but that illusional aspect is most definitely why so many people appreciate it.

Surreal scenes are often depicted in his murals such as a man floating up into the sky and holding on helium balloons.

Mehdi Ghadyanloo is a painter and designer based in Tehran, Israel. His street art is extensive. What makes his artworks particularly intriguing is that they are full of dimension that tricks the brain.
