ART MOSH

The latest NIXON ART MOSH event just happened in Munich and the works exhibited on this occasion again look top quality. See the video they put together about the show.

I had the chance to attend the last NIXON ART MOSH held in London last year and I did not get disappointed but rather amazed. The venue, Rochelle School was one of the best venue I have seen for art shows – set on two levels, airy and large.

Beyond the excellent choice of venues, ART MOSH is all about getting a mix of artists and talents from various medias and they do it rather well – painting, photography, design, sculpture, music and street art, there is something for everyone. Regular artists include names like Dan Baldwin, Jaybo Monk or Faith47

NIXON ART MOSH shows are as eclectic as the bunch of artists and people attending the event. Once night only but what a night. I cannot wait for the next show in London.

I have included a few pics from last year’s ART MOSH in London

Leak street tunnel: a giant canvas for street artists

One of the if not the only and definitely most known authorised graffiti area in London is living up to the expectations. Artist, loads of them showed love here and keep doing so like the only guy I met that morning who was dropping up what looked like a piece that is worth coming back very soon to check out.

Below are just a few shots of that morning, click here to see the gallery I especially put together for it. Continue reading Leak street tunnel: a giant canvas for street artists

The incredible digital art of Erik Johansson

Erik Johansson is one of those guys who have raw talent. He excels on digital photography and produces outstanding results. And you know what? He has not have any formal training in photography or studio art — or even classroom instruction in Adobe Photoshop

Erik Johansson is keen on surreal landscapes and often depicts characters trapped in their surroundings in some temporal break down.

We have included below the Cut & Fold (2012) piece as well as a very interesting video that will show you how Erik Johansson got to the end result.

Here is what the digital artist says about the work: “Inspired by the cut-along border of a magazine coupon, I wondered what a landscape would look like if it were peeled back along a road’s dotted line like a coupon.

5 street art pieces about Brexit

Some of you may know this – UK Parliament will debate on a second EU referendum at Westminster Hall on 5 September 2016, after an online petition attracted more than four-million signatures. As a reminder, 51.9% of the UK voted to leave the European Union on 23 June 2016, with a turnout of 72.2%.

We thought we’ll share with you guys 5 street art pieces about Brexit

A kiss between ex-Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev and East Germany’s Eric Honecker

The work – a reference to a iconic Berlin Wall mural of a kiss between ex-Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev and East Germany’s Eric Honecker – went viral… and the idea has been copied this week for the UK’s referendum on EU membership.

A Bristol street artist created a new mural that features Trump – who has claimed that the UK would be better off outside the EU – instead making out with former Mayor of London Boris Johnson, the de-facto leader of the Brexit campaign.

The work, on the side of Bristol’s old Carriage Works, features the slogan “Not #InForThis? Register to vote on the EU referendum now!”

The WeAreEurope artist collective have claimed responsibility for the mural alongside Paintsmiths Of Bristol.
