For the “Border Line” show at Signal Gallery, C215 is exhibiting his stencils together with photographer Jeremy Gibbs aka RomanyWG.
C215 new body of work is exploring the imagery of the artist Caravaggio, and his dramatic and intensely troubled world on the edge of sanity.
Since the past 5 years, RomanyWG has been documenting street art and graffiti and recently joined the ‘Urbex community’ with its exploration of abandoned buildings and industrial facilities. RomanyWG is showing photographs both from C215’s ‘Community Service’ book and also his recently released ‘Out of Sight’ Urban Art/Abandoned Spaces book.

It seemed that all the London galleries decided to have a show on 7/7, so I set my target to attend 7 shows on the same night:
Laz print shop The Outsiders was having a solo show with Hungarian born illustrator David Foldvari.
Charming Baker new show in Covent Garden is featuring a selection of new paintings and a collection of bronze busts.
Moving to the London East End, I attented the opening of “Birth of Namahage”, new monotype prints by Grady Gordon at Pure Evil Gallery.
