EVOL at Pictures On Walls

We went to the POW exhibition weekend on Sunday. Great show including new work from Banksy, Mighty Mo, Cept, Zach Shrey, Bill Barminski, Victor Van Gaasbeek, and of course, the ever fantastic Berliner EVOL, who has been doing some work in London recently.

Really digging this guy. He's just opened an exhibition at Wilde Gallery. Pretty hard to find any info about the dude, but absolutely loving his work. What attracted me to it originally was the medium he was using - corrugated cardboard cartons. The same strata I've been using for my series over the last year. I think there have been a number of American artists over the last few years who've struck notoriety for work on recycled cartons and pizza boxes.

Evol's Exhibition at Wilde-Gallery runs for a month from 01.05.09.

Thought I'd throw Evol's flickr up so you can see some of what he's been doing under the guise of the Evol (CTink) name.

This pic is from Berliner Antonio Shultz. Not sure when she shot it - think it may have been Berlin, but interesting story:

"EVOL transformed this electricity box into a block of flats (it`s a "Plattenbau"). A really beautiful place was born! And then some squatters came to live in this house. My foto shows an early state, in the end there were about ten creatures and characters sticked into the windows by other artists (AEM, NOLOGO, ...). There was even a mini-throwup at the basis."

[EVOL used stencils on a transparent paper and pasted it to the electricity box.]
