C215 Studio Visit

October 31, 2009 butterfly Leave a comment

If you going to Paris, visit Vitry-sur-Seine, or should we say C215-sur-Seine…

The city walls have been refreshed with colourful artworks by C215, showcasing images and portraits from his trips around the world as well as his daughter Nina. “I wanted to bring my travel memories back to my new hometown. People from all generations have been very supportive and local feedback has been overwelming.” mentioned Christian Guemy aka C215.

Wandering through the streets you can see an impressive and evergrowing display of works.

In the city center, you can contemplate this extremely detailed stencil of Chinatown, inspired by a picture from Logan Hicks. Show & Tell Gallery is hosting the first joint exhibition between Logan Hicks and C215 in Canada on 7th November. “Parallel Universe” will feature several collaborative works as well as pieces that are inspired by one another.

We were lucky to have a sneak pic into C215 studio before getting ready for an improvised live painting session.

Green Day “Art of Rock” show at StolenSpace Gallery

October 23, 2009 butterfly 1 Comment

Green Day has commissioned 21 original pieces of art inspired by their most recent album release, 21st Century Breakdown.

Curated by artist Logan Hicks, the “Art of Rock” show at StolenSpace Gallery exhibits the 21 paintings from October 23rd until Nov. 1st to coincide with Green Day’s sold out UK concert tour.

Featured artists are New York-based painter Ron English, Amsterdam-based street artists The London Police, French stencil artist C215, British illustrator Will Barras along with artists Eelus, Chris Stain, Sixten, Adam 5100 and more. Each of the collaborating artists were each sent through a lyric sheet and asked to produce a piece of art that reflected that song, to highlight the connection between music and art.

The opening party shared a good mix of artists, musicians, collectors and fans with artists such as Logan Hicks, Eelus, Word to Mother as well as members of the Green Day band.
