Eine, D*Face and Zevs at Faces exhibition
A new concept gallery combining art with an hair salon, Electric Blue Gallery has gathered UK and French artists, to each make over an entire street in their inimitable style, creating an unprecedented outdoor gallery only visible at night.
The exhibition/outdoor concept, Faces, extends the gallery space beyond its traditional white walls and out onto the blank canvas of eleven surrounding streets, creating an affluent new London East End destination by day, and a free, international gallery of world-class contemporary art by night. With over a year in planning, by completion it will be one of the biggest permanent public installations in the world.
During the “Faces” opening on Thursday 16 September, Zevs’ crew performed live by spraying LV clean graffiti.
