Dale Grimshaw at Signal gallery

Dale Grimshaw has got a fine art education which meant that he has been difficult for him to be accepted in the streets as a graffiti artist but long ago was that time, Dale Grimshaw seems to plain sailing his style, his own.

His new show, Semi-detached is the expression of monsters and victims, making reference here to his violent father and the tensions this created in the household. Dale Grimshaw are full of that tension, the whole composition and combination of human and animal gives the tone of what it must have be like at home.

Missum, one half of street art sensation Miss Bugs is to exhibit her first ever solo work at Ink_d Gallery, Brighton.

Breaking onto the UK street art scene in 2007, the artistic partnership of Miss Bugs, Missum, has gained international acclaim, culminating in the recent sell-out Parlour show at the Brooklynite Gallery, New York.

For this solo show, 20 new works will be revealed where Missum’s unique approach using watercolours, collograph and drypoint etching techniques will be seen. Dark palette is often use but Missum’s style manage to give the works a softer touch, a Missum’s touch.

While we are excited about this show, Missum’s recent street art installations are as truly remarkable and again carry a certain softness. You can see two of them below.
