Now is ‘really’ time for Street Art at Black Rat
This is what of those shows that when you hear about them, the automatic and systematic next thing you do is to pencil that in your diary in a big font.
Now’s The Time exhibition at Black Rat gallery is an impressive group show, a sort of retrospective of what Street Art has been in the past few years and what it will be for years to come: getting more and people liking it. Continue reading Now is ‘really’ time for Street Art at Black Rat
Floor designs made of vinyl tape
There is no much to say about Jim Lambie‘s work apart from what he does with vinyl tapes rolls is simply amazing and definitely eye catching. Gigiantic and intricated geometric floor designs is what I am talking about here. Each design takes him several weeks to complete. Included below are a few examples.
Tribute to David Bowie
Sadly, musical legend David Bowie has passed away. For 5 decades Bowie defined himself as a singer, songwriter, record producer, painter, and actor. A fashion and style icon with his unapologetic style and experimental flamboyance, Bowie is a true British legend.
As a tribute we have collected a few street artworks from around the globe and presented them below.
This illustration by Helen Green ombined her illustrations of Bowie’s different looks into an animated gif and have been widely shared on social medias

James Cochran, aka Jimmy C, did this mural back in 2013 in Bowie’s hometown in Brixton(South London). The wall has quickly become a memorial.
Street Artist Sonni created this animation merging Ziggy Stardust into one of his own unique characters.

Brett Amory at The Outsiders: waiting on the line
Intentional Abstractions is Brett Amory first UK solo show and first show of the year at The Outsiders
The works on display are part of the ‘Waiting’ series Brett Amory started back in 2001 in which he depicts morning commuters transiting via BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) stations around San Francisco.
Here is what he says about it –
“I started the ‘Waiting’ series in 2000. I was working in Emeryville and living in San Fran, so I was commuting via bart. I became really interested in how people looked in the morning especially on Monday after the weekend. I noticed how everyone seemed to be somewhere else, not at all in the present. I also started noticing a disconnect. The bart would be packed shoulder to shoulder but there would be no communication and minimal eye contact.”
In his latest series and in this one on particular, the composition is minimal, the environment seems to fade away. The artist is trying here to give some emphasize on the guy waiting, to hopefully make him come across as something more than a waiting guy
The minimum composition in Amory’s works certainly makes you focus on the character, on the commuter. Look at it 3 feet away from the wall and it is difficult to fully realise what is going on, get closer and find out loads of details you just missed earlier, see the commuter differently. Amory’s works appear like some sort of mirages or hazed slices of personal stories, stories of these people in the morning waiting for their mean of transport, our story for most of us.
The show runs until Saturday 12th February 2010

Digital art: stop motion
Stop-motion (also known as stop-action or frame-by-frame) is an animation technique to make a physically manipulated object appear to move on its own. The object is moved in small increments between individually photographed frames, creating the illusion of movement when the series of frames is played as a continuous sequence. Clay figures are often used in stop-motion for their ease of repositioning. Stop-motion animation using clay is described as clay animation or clay-mation.
A few of the best ART-PIE have seen are below.
Hours and hours of work here for these two first examples. Top quality.
Warning: these two films contain some adult language in the subtitles, but if you can stand the occasional and brief “F” word, the pay off is huge.
