Numskull, Meggs, Roach, Rone, Sofles painted an awesome new piece in Hosier Lane Melbourne over the weekend. A great meeting of styles and colours. I love it.

If you’ve ever wandered through a train yard, work like Troy Lovegates‘ (aka Other’s) is the kind of jaw-dropping stuff you feel fortunate to have come cross. For the past few months Lovegates has been spending time in Germany, but with all his freight car pieces running, his presence will be felt across borders.

As always, I’m blown away by Tant and Unga of Broken Fingaz. The two hit London yet again, as they were in town for a group show in December at Hoxton Gallery.

Opening at 6:30pm on February 1st and running until the 9th, Dabs and Myla have a solo show entitled “All Good Things…” at Metro Gallery in Melbourne in affiliation with LRG. The Australian natives have been living in Los Angeles recently and this marks their first show in their home country in over 3 years. If you’re in the area, this really looks worth seeing.

Though he’s been a designer for over a decade, Simon Silaidis has only been involved in street art for one year. Based in Athens, he creates his “urban calligraphy” in abandoned spaces using anything from flat brushes to brooms. He draws inspiration from Western, Arabic, and Chinese calligraphy.

Italian artist Resuno has been painting since high school. He started with standard graffiti lettering under the pseudonym “Reso”. After his time at college, he reentered the street art scene with a slightly different name and painting these fun character pieces .

2501 has a solo show, Vajrapani, on view now at Elastico Studio in Bologna, Italy. The show runs through February 9th, and anyone who goes to visit is someone I will be extremely jealous of. It looks like this much-hyped artist really met the challenge of meeting and actually exceeding expectations in his first solo show since becoming so popular for his outdoor work. With Vajrapani, 2501 seems to have managed juxtaposing the mad rawness of graffiti and city walls with traditional fine art precision and beauty without coming of as the least bit corny, something which would have been all too easy.
More photos after the jump. Some of 2501’s art might not be safe for work though, so consider yourself warned. Continue reading “2501 crushes it at his solo show in Bologna, Italy”
It was great to see RAE included in RJ’s list of 10 Street Artists to Watch in 2013 published over at Complex, as I’ve been a huge fan of RAE since his folksy, endearing characters first started surfacing on the streets of NYC. Here’s a bit of a preview of what the folks in London will get to see beginning tomorrow — Thursday — evening over at Signal Gallery:
