PIC + MIX 2
ART URBAIN - GRAFFITIS

Two of my paintings from the 51 Degrees collection are appearing as lots in an auction in the south of France, this Saturday.
There’s some amazing work in the auction, you’ll have to see for yourself, links below:

One Foot in the Grove - Christmas extension

Once more the machines will have new backdrops. Mutate Britain kicks open a Christmas Special. Promising an alternative to the joyless chaos of Oxford Street, the venue is also licensed for drinking and selling prints of some of the pictures painted on the walls.

Twenty foot in the Grove
One Foot in the Dark
One Foot in the Grove

Officially opening on the 8th October 2009, the follow up to the Mutate Britain show at Cordy House in Shoreditch last year – this time under the Westway, up Portobello Road, west London. Its actually behind S&M, the pie and mash shop (scroll down for a map).
I visited the site and made a few 360′s of the areas… guess where i’m planning to paint?

360 degrees of Urban in Ibiza

The first graffiti show to hit the white isle went down a storm. The venue was simply breath-taking, set in the hills, a world class spa, probably the best venue I’ve attended in a long while so I’ll let the photographs do the talking.

The story of UK Hip Hop

I’ve been asked to put out the word, regarding a rather ambitious show being put on in October. Its basically a collection of memoirs, paraphernalia, ephemera, bits & bobs to do with the emerging hip hop scene in this country. I’m going to be submitting some tasty morsels from my archive, things that I just happened to keep. If you’re like me and a bit of a hoarder, and you’ve got something dying to make somebody else smile and feel educated, dig it out, dust it down and get in touch.

Urban in Ibiza

Ibiza gets graffiti this summer as Urban in Ibiza hits the White Isle for the first time ever.
Prepare yourself for a visual feast this August with the anticipated arrival of URBAN IN IBIZA.

Line Steppers group show, Birmingham
FIFTY ONE DEGREES, Solo show in Birmingham


New bodies of work on canvas and paper on display in Digbeth, near Birmingham City Centre on Saint George’s day 2009, Thursday April 24th.
Here’s an extract from the press release:
Aerosol cans become unstable at 51 degrees, pyramids are built at 51 degrees, secondary rainbows are only visible at 51 degrees, daisies open up to the sun at 51 degrees, and the northern hemisphere begins above the latitude of 51 degrees*. If the graffiti tradition of adopting a number after your tag (similar to Taki 183, from 183rd Street, NYC) then the artist Chu’s number is definitely FIFTY ONE.
Exploring (literally) new perspectives and embracing computer-aided technologies, Chu’s work has continued to push back the boundaries of graffiti [read full story]

Urban Art showcase - March 5th

I am submitting a little work and a piece of bespoke painting to the walls within the lush Westbourne Studios in West London this coming Thursday 5th March. I’ll be showing along with some old friends, Solo One, Inkie and Zeus.
We’ll be joined by the Graffiti Research Laboratories. and Dotmasters in the vast foyer area. The word is that GRL are bringing their laser writing sytem…

If anybody is in London over the coming months, pop in and have a look. Work will evolve and change as it is a semi-permamanent fixture.

When I created these back in 1996, I had swapped some development time for a games company in Halesowen, for a handbuilt Pentium running at 90Mhz with 128 MB Ram. I also had my bic biro.

M. C. Escher tribute (2 of 3)

M. C. Escher tribute (1 of 3)

There are doubtless millions of people that are fascinated by the technical prowess and exacting graphic skill of one, Maurits Cornelis Escher. His imagination captured mine at a very early age, probably the first visual art that actually grabbed my deficient attention. I developed an early interest in mathematics, no doubt assisted by the many wonderful prints that Maurits would labour over tirelessly.
