We’ve been down to Soho and taken a look at the new Pictures on Walls show. It is really two shows, “Marks and Stencils”, a collection of originals and prints from a range of great street artists including Banksy and “My Everyday Life” which is French street artist Dran’s solo show. My Everyday Life by Dran takes up the entire bottom floor of the show with Marks and Stencils primarily occupying the top level. Some of the highlights from Marks and Stencils are below. We’ve dealt with Dran, My Everyday Life in a seperate post.
Marks & Stencils
Three Banksy originals (ALL SOLD):
Banksy print, based on the “Haring Dog” which recently appeared (and promptly dissapeared under plyboard) in South London (entitled “Choose Your Weapon”, it is available soon in five colours for £450, run unknown):
There are lots and lots of prints from a range of Street Artists available to take away. Here are some of them:
Sweet Toof, “Cheech Toof”, £95:
Al Murphy, “Watership Down”, £45:
Date Farmers, “Don’t Fight Back”, £145
Steve Powers, “New York”, £205:
Al Murphy, “Paradise”, £70:
Lots of other interesting stuff too:
Even Birds Eye were in on the act:
Banksy was here:
Not too impressed – what I always liked about Banksy was his wit. This stuff all looks a bit half-baked crank it out. His stuff will always sell because he has built up his fame and notoriety (all credit to him for that) but smacks a bit of ‘buy a piece of cool’ rather than buy a great piece of communication. Just one guy’s opinion…
just wondering when the exhibition closes? 🙂
The exhibitions runs until Wednesday 22 December
