London: Paul Insect – It’s Only A Dream @ Allouche Gallery

Paul Insect - It's only a dream

We are excited to see the return of British street and contemporary artist Paul Insect to London  for  an exhibition of new works ‘It’s Only a Dream‘. We still have some fond memories of his London Poison show back in 2008.
Presented by New York based Allouche Gallery for their first pop up location in London Old Street, the show features Paul Insect’s signature puppets ( which we saw at Dismaland with with New York street artist Bast) as well as a series of paintings and abstracted figures. Using spray paint chip’s collected from various degrading and flaking painted walls over the past seven years, Paul Insect also created new sculptural works looking like taxidermy owls, or a stormy cloud in a tea cup.

Release: Nick Walker – The Last Ride Print

NW Print

Nick Walker (check the studio visit here) will have a new print on sale on Monday 12th October at 3.30pm DST UK time,  entitled The Last Ride.

The print is based on a portrait I took of the UK artist during a visit in Paris.  He’s wearing his signature Vandal outfit and umbrella while riding a carousel horse next to the Eiffel Tower. A quite surreal experience…

Produced in an edition of 150 on Somerset Satin 410 gms , measuring  66cm x 96 cm, it will be available for £400 online from  www.theartofnickwalker.com .
