WX Street Party: the rise of the non-conformists
Summer time and outdoors urban art exhibition sound like they are made for each other so you imagine my excitement when I heard about the Whitecross street party.

One more time, Stolen space has put together a remarkable show. Group shows are so rich in diversity by definition and therefore always please a large number of people.
Mixed media on cotton paper, oil on linen canvas, screen print, acrylics, spray paint, cut book 3D collages,… the choice of medias and mediums is immense. How not to find a piece you like? Impossible.
On my way again to Pure Evil gallery. This time I was there to see Remed and I felt particularly excited about this one as the artist was born right from where I am myself from – Lille (France).
The work I was looking at was quite different with the last show at Pure Evil – Busk Bleach Zadok (Read post here).
I have been going around London many times to try to snap up some street art and came across ROA’s stuff on several occasions. I knew little about the guy from Ghent (Belgium) and was therefore very keen on finding out more about him and his obsession with picturing large scale urban wildlife through his spray paint cans.
I was as excited to find out about Stolen Space as I was to find out about Jabo Monk’s new works. Both did not dissapoint. I like the sobriety of the venue with that quirky artwork of roads signs outside the gallery – nice touch. This out of the way let’s now focus on Jaybo and his unique manner of using spray paint, acrylics and tar sands (also known as oil sands).
