The
art pieces will be created exclusively for the duration of the show
and all work will be destroyed at the end – making Ill Communication
a unique viewing opportunity.
Featured
artists include:
Sol
Crew |
Sol
Crew (Eindhoven)
The SOL Crew is a group of graffiti-writers from Eindhoven, Holland
consisting of Erosie, Sektie, Bombkid, Late and Zime. All crew-members
have a very different approach, varying from old style vintage sign-painting
from Sektie, a very hand style-oriented approach by Bombkid, a more
illustrative vision from Erosie to the geometric logotypes from
Zime and the hardcore mentality by Late...blending together like
a crew is supposed to.
Seak
(Cologne)
" It is hard to describe my own style. I especially fancy painting
abstract objects while splitting up the letters. Above that you
can also see 3-d and lighting effects in my pieces. Whenever making
sketches though I stick to letters but when painting I get so into
it that lettering is drawn into the background because of colours
and effects."
El
Tono (Madrid)
"My artistic proposal is not only conceived for and moulded
by the street, it is made in the street. It questions the mass communication
society into which we have been born. We want to confront this information
overdose, this visual saturation which invades every urban space,
using a logo, a tuning fork, that have no commercial use."
London
Police |
London
Police (Amsterdam)
The London Police have always been involved in graf in some way
shape or form for a good part of their lives. It's been a thread
that has run throughout, sometimes going below the layers within
the fabric of life; and at other times being very much a surface
component. They all have study backgrounds in visual communication
of some sort: graphic and package design, sculpture, photography.
(Note: London Police will not present their work until 29/09/03)
Solo
One (London)
If you have ever been to any major city in the UK (especially London),
whether you live there; work there; shop there or have just been
a tourist, it is sure that there is one name either consciously
or sub-consciously imprinted in your brain.
