Last weekend, dozens of artists were in Brighton to paint at The Beautiful and The Canned. Here are two of my favorite walls from the event.

Ghost Mews Project
Agents of Change have a group show on right now in London at Mews42 Gallery. I haven’t been down yet myself, but here are a few photos from Remi/Rough’s flickr:

Remi/Rough in California
Remi/Rough sent me some pics today from his time in San Fransisco for the Never A Dull Moment show at White Walls SF. For me, the highlight is definitely this wall he painted with Joker, Poesia, Kofie, Codak, Kema and Diel. Here are some slightly more detailed shots:
Here’s Remi’s wall in the White Walls show:
And of course, I can’t mention this group show with mentioning Anthony Lister. Great piece. Glad to see he can paint interesting pictures without using superheroes:
Finally, Augustine Kofie:
Never a Dull Moment at White Walls
This looks like a pretty cool show. iO Wright has brought together an eclectic mix of artists for Never a Dull Moment, which opens in a few weeks at White Walls in San Fransisco. Personally, I’m most excited to see new work from Armsrock.
White Walls is proud to present Never a Dull Moment, a group show curated by iO Wright. Never a Dull Moment will transform the gallery into a cohesive environment that embraces all mediums of creativity from sixteen artists. Please join us for the opening reception on Saturday, February 6th, 2010, from 7-11pm.
Never a Dull Moment features Anthony Lister, Alessandro Zuek Simonetti, Jaybo Monk, Angela Boatwright, Augustine Kofie, Dave Potes, Jonathan Darby, Ray Potes, Remi Rough, iO Wright, Erik Otto, Cheryl Dunn, Armsrock, Dave Schubert, Sam Ash and Clayton Brothers. iO Wright has chosen these artists for their “get your hands dirty” and “don’t worry just do” mentality. Without considering outside forces, they are urged to continuously create and express themselves. With shared roots in graffiti art, this group has a flare for action, immediacy, and unpredictability. Never a Dull Moment exposes viewers to the creative mind’s raw inner workings and draws distinct parallels between everyday immediate expression and fine art.
Never a Dull Moment will be a transformation of the gallery space into a chaotic, organic environment close to the heart of the artistic process. Film, sculpture, installation, and large-scale wheat paste can be expected from this multi media, multi talented group of artists. Embracing the connection between photography and fine art, Never a Dull Moment will meld the two together just as they are in everyday life. Several artists including Jaybo Monk, Remi Rough, Erik Otto, Augustine Kofie and Jonathan Darby plan to create a site-specific installation to accompany their works in the gallery. The installation will no doubt be interactive and multi sensory, with few white walls in sight.
iO Wright is a photography based artist, writer, and curator. Along with co-founding the street art quarterly, Overspray Magazine, iO curated Climb in the Back Window at Shadow’s Space Gallery in Philadelphia in 2009. Keeping close tabs on urban art, she has also interviewed such influential artists as Shepard Fairey and Erik Foss. This exhibition is curated by iO Wright and sponsored by White Walls, Hamburger Eyes, and New Order Magazine.
The opening reception of Never a Dull Moment at White Walls Gallery will be held on Saturday, February 6th, 2010 from 7-11pm. The exhibit will be on display through February 27th, 2010 and is open to the public.
Remi/Rough and Jaybo live painting
As I mentioned the other day, Remi and Jaybo recently did some cool live painting in Berlin. Well the video of that event has just come out, and it’s pretty cool. One of the few live painting videos I’ve seen that I haven’t skipped through.
The Ghostvillage Project
Agent of Change recently went to Scotland to paint an abandoned village. Looks beautiful. That’s all I’ll say. They made this short film, it explains the rest:

Remi and Jaybo
Remi/Rough and Jaybo took part in an event the other night in Berlin to raise money for an organization that builds wells in Africa. They each started working on a painting, then swapped and worked on the other’s piece, then swapped back to finish the paintings. Great looking results. These are some of my favorite Jaybo pieces.
And here’s a little bonus, a piece that Remi/Rough painted outside of Santander, Spain:

This looks awesome…

Remi says…
Curated by Agents of Change, The Ghostvillage was conceived as an antidote to a world of ever increasing safety and mediocrity. Six artists were given free reign of a never inhabited village on the west coast of Scotland – working on pristine walls Remi/Rough, Stormie, System, Timid, Derm and Juice 126 have created a gallery like no other…..and finally given the village the ghosts it deserves…..
Well painted walls
Just want to highlight two new walls that I think were particularly well painted collaborations.
First is this wall in NYC with Veng, Indie, Deem and Cern. Great mix of graffiti and street art. Love to see these two often opposing groups working together.
And here is a wall in Cardiff by Remi/Rough and Timid:
Collaboration is where it’s at.
Remi/Rough book
An exciting announcement came to my inbox late last night from Remi/Rough. His book, Lost Colours and Alibis, is being released soon and is now available for preorder. Most Vandalog readers are probably familiar with Remi’s recent work, but I’m most looking forward to seeing his older graffiti.
