Unveiling the hidden history of Graffiti artists on canvas
Our journey spans the tumultuous birth of graffiti in 1970s New York, to its explosive growth and evolution. Be seduced by the visceral impact of the bright colours and intricate shapes, the hard-hitting social and political commentary, and the stories that spontaneously spring from our urban canvases.

Shelley’s Art Musings – Banksy macht Wellen in Rom
Das Jahr 2020 geht wirklich nur von einer schwierigen Situation zur nächsten, nicht wahr? Viele Veranstaltungen wurden abgesagt, das Potential der zweiten Welle des Coronavirus ist am Horizont. Es gab merkwürdiges Wetter, Proteste und politische Täuschungsmanöver, was alles zu einem Jahr wie kein anderes für alle weltweit beigetragen hat. Dies hat zum Glück die Kreativität und die von Herzen kommenden Aktionen nicht aufgehalten. Wir haben Menschen gesehen, die Schlüsselmitarbeiter feiern, sich in Einigkeit zusammenschließen, um Black Lives Matter zu unterstützen, und so viele Taten der Freundlichkeit, dass es Individuen zu der Erkenntnis gebracht hat, dass Menschen zu großen Dingen fähig sind, wenn wir aufhören, gegeneinander zu arbeiten. Dieses Jahr hat…

Shelley’s Art Musings – Banksy fait des vagues à Rome.
2020, c’est vraiment passer d’une situation difficile à une autre, n’est-ce pas ? Beaucoup d’événements annulés, le potentiel de la deuxième vague de Coronavirus à l’horizon. Il y a eu des conditions météorologiques bizarres, des protestations et des bêtises politiques, ce qui a contribué à une année sans précédent pour tous dans le monde. Heureusement, cela n’a pas empêché la créativité et les actions sincères d’avoir lieu. Nous avons vu des gens célébrer des travailleurs clés, s’unir pour soutenir Black Lives Matter et tant d’actes de gentillesse que cela a fait prendre conscience aux individus que les humains sont capables de grandes choses si nous cessons de travailler les uns…

Shelley’s Art Musings – Banksy making waves in Rome
2020 is really just going from one difficult situation to another, isn’t it? Many events cancelled, the potential of the second wave of Coronavirus on the horizon. There has been odd weather, protests and political tom foolery, which has all contributed to a year like no other for everyone globally. This thankfully hasn’t stopped creativity and heartfelt actions taking place. We have seen people celebrating key workers, joining in unity to support Black Lives Matter and so many acts of kindness that it has made individuals realise that humans are capable of great things if we stop working against each other. This year certainly hasn’t stopped the artist Banksy from…

Shelley’s Art Musings – STREET ART: Pleins feux sur D*Face (Dean Stockton)
Je suis un grand fan des arts de la rue. En fait, à côté des œuvres d’art sur les mythes et les légendes, c’est probablement l’un de mes genres préférés. C’est un art polyvalent et avant-gardiste, et un paysage en constante évolution dans le monde de l’art. Il apporte de l’art aux masses qui voient l’art comme quelque chose qui est coincé dans les galeries, et surtout il apporte de la couleur aux zones urbaines qui pourraient être essentiellement toutes concrètes. D*Face (Dean Stockton), est né en 1978 en Angleterre, et jusqu’en 2008, son identité d’artiste de rue était gardée secrète, car il ne pensait pas que son public avait…

Shelley’s Art Musings – Spotlight on D*Face
I am a massive fan of street art. In fact, alongside artworks about myths and legends, it is probably one of my favourite genres. It’s versatile and edgy, and an ever-changing landscape within the art world. It brings art to the masses who see art as something that is stuck in galleries, and above all else it brings colour to urban areas which could essentially be all concrete. D*Face (Dean Stockton), was born in 1978 in England, and until 2008 his identity as a street artist was kept under wraps, as he didn’t feel that his audience needed to know his identity to appreciate his work. You can see some of the early D*Face…

Shelley’s Art Musings – The great C word…
No, it isn’t what you are thinking, it is the word on everyone’s lips at the moment… Coronavirus. You can barely turn on the TV or the radio or turn to social media without seeing adverts telling you to stay at home, or hearing the dire situation that the world is currently in. What we don’t hear a lot about is the heart-warming stories which have resulted as an outcome. We aren’t seeing how the world has come together as a mass community to work together on controlling this pandemic. Recognition has come the world over, for our health services and front-line workers. We have seen support on mass for those who have had…

Spotlight on Seth Globepainter
I have now written a few articles for you, usually looking at the negative reception of street art, or the issues which come about from art which is in public areas, so it is nice to be able to look at this subject in a positive light, rather than to extol the virtues of why street art is effectively an open gallery for all. Julien Malland aka Seth Globepainter is a street artist who has emerged in Paris and is utilizing the building of the 20th arrondissement, with large-scale characters which dominate the skyline and bring a beauty to the area by developing his vision on to the side of…
