Urban Masters at Hearn St car park Pt2

As promised, the next installation from the excellent exhibition at Hearn St car park... Sorry some of these photos are a bit rubbish - it was very hard shooting in this environment allowing for the various light sources, but you get the idea. I'll chuck up a link with the gallery (Opera Gallery) that organised the exhibition, and you can search through their online catalogue for studio shot pics.

This was done on a piece of old corrugated card and was POA...

Urban Masters at Hearn St car park pt3

The next 3 posts are all going to feature work from this weekends Urban Masters show. Here is the intro from LeCool, to give you a brief overview... Set in a "fittingly urban" setting - a former Victorian factory in Shoreditch - the Opera Gallery & ANV have invited 33 big names (Blek le Rat, Shepard Fairy, Nick Walker to name a few) along to show what's what when it comes to urban art. The show's all about paying homage to those who've inspired the artists: from art masters from history, to masterpieces, and current muses - and they're not doing it by halves. Expect your senses to be overwhelmed with works spanning from canvasses, installations, moving art, photography, pop-art, and street art. Surprises come as standard. Also: free posters for anyone heading down on November the 9th along with a public book signing (11am-7pm) makes the show a winner..
