Last month, “urban contemporary art” came to Long Beach, California. Thanks to Pow! Wow! and ThinkSpace Gallery, the Long Beach Museum of Art is currently hosting Vitality and Verve: Transforming the Urban Landscape, an exhibition of talented and famous painters like Low Bros, Meggs, Andrew Schoultz, Saber, and Audrey Kawasaki. It was supposed to be a show about painting with artists “demonstrating the skilled and nuanced application of their craft,” and, for the most part, the works in Vitality and Verve are well-painted and beautiful. Except for one. Saber’s installation. Continue reading “Saber: Bull in a china shop”

Berlin Bandits – A sneak preview

This weekend sees the opening of Berlin Bandits, a collection of paintings by Billy, Low Bros and Mr Penfold, at NeonChocolate. A couple of weeks ago I mentioned the show, but here’s a reminder, with some sneak previews of the work, for all you lucky folk that can make the opening.

Mr Penfold and his Berlin Bandits

Mr Penfold has been rather busy recently. Firstly here are a couple of his new fantastic pieces in London.

And secondly, Mr Penfold and his fellow Berlin Bandits, Billy and Low Bros, are teaming up at the end of the month to put on an exhibition of paintings at NeonChocolate. So if you are in Berlin, or fancy a weekend break, then make sure you hit the city between October 29th and November 4th and check out the show. It should be (to quote Billy’s favourite word) RAD!

Clash of the Titans

This post is a bit of a continuation from my previous one…  Whilst up north last weekend, Mr Penfold, Mr Gauky, Low Bros and DXTR made the short trip across to Manchester to paint.  Inspired by Ray Harryhausen and the 1981 film – Clash of the Titans, they collaborated on another rather nice piece.

Big Up… Bue the Warrior!

This is Belgium’s Bue the Warrior. Recently he’s been collaborating with Billy and Low Bros in Berlin on some fantastic walls and shutters, pictures of which I posted last week. I rather like his style, (maybe because it’s similar to a few other artists I like), so here a few of his other pieces from all around the world. Enjoy.

Billy meets Berlin, Berlin meets Billy

Just over a month ago Billy departed London and headed east to Berlin on a bit of a jolly. It seems that since being there she has spend half her time painting, often collaborating with others, to rather good effect. Here are a few of her fantastic pieces…
