Artists, rock royalty, fashion designers and models came in force for the opening of LA graffiti artist RETNA’s Hallelujah World Tour in London, which is the second part of a three stop world tour.

The exhibition features a series of 30 new works fusing a variety of different mediums including drawing, painting and poetry.

As part of the project, RETNA is creating a unique work on the tail of one of VistaJet’s Global Express XRS aircraft. The tour began in New York in February 2011 and will conclude with an exhibition in Hong Kong later this year.

Andipa Gallery is hosting a Banksy / War Boutique exhibition , presenting a collection of original works by two mavericks of urban art – one just emerging onto the international stage, choosing to put on his first commercial exhibition at Andipa, and one already recognised as amongst the biggest names in contemporary art today.

The show includes an unparalleled collection of sought after original paintings by Banksy, from the collection of Andipa Gallery, in the ground floor gallery.

New works by War Boutique are on show in the lower ground floor gallery.
Using textiles, bullet proof ceramics, shells and bomb blankets as the conduit to express his ideas, the artist known as War Boutique “symbolically transforms instruments of war and destruction into constructive items embodying creativity, peace and critical social commentary.” Society for Contemporary Craft.
