The London Police at StolenSpace Gallery

Fantastic new show at StolenSpace Gallery on Brick Lane. The London Police take over gallery 1 with some spectacular works including some seriously large canvases.

Also a foray into London pop and style icons

The show titled "All at Sea" runs until 29th May, so hurry on down to check it out - you won't be disappointed.

In gallery 2 is a fantastic show of paintings from American artist Scott Lisfield entitled 'An American astronaut in London, and as you can see from the images below, does what it says on the tin. Great show, and equally worth checking out while you're there.

David Walker at Rook & Raven Gallery

Went to the opening of the first solo show by David Walker - Brides on fire -  at the end of last month. Some stunning paintings at the show, and a great turn out. We would have loved to buy one of the large works, but a bit outside our budget (and our flat is too small to do it the justice it deserves. We ended up buying a print of one of the paintings instead, which we love, and got a couple of hand painted masks from David too.

This wall piece was awesome - not for sale though

SHOK-1 at Meeting of Styles, London

(click on image to enlarge)

Here is the post as promised earlier. These images are from the bone wall he did at Meeting of styles, The Studio, Holloway in London last month. This piece really stood out for us - it was so different from anything there, and from anything we'd seen before. I was following SHOK-1 a while back, and went to a few of his exhibition openings, but his style has evolved fast in the last couple of years, and I love what he is doing right now.Will put some more of his work up in the next little while, so keep an eye out...
