NEW EXHIBITION AND GALLERY SPACE
PURE EVIL SHOW is now open at 108 Leonard St in Shoreditch, London EC2A 4RH
we are planning BIG 'TINGs.
For a walkthrough of the space go HERE and for a map go HERE

There are 2 other International shows planned:

FakeSpace gallery, Beijing, China from 17 November to 16th December
and
LUCY* gallery, Antwerp, Belgium from 20 December to 12 January

I have made 12 screen printed canvasses that are each about 1.5m wide of an
image I saw in the newspaper about 2 months ago that hit me HARD...the
mangled wreckage is terrifying and the thought of there being humans inside
that wreckage is horrific... I wanted to find a way of processing that and
looking into it, and I thought very hard about why I couldn't stop looking
at it... and then I decided to do something about it...

By mass manufacturing an image and repeating images again and again and
again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again
and again and again we are desensitised to the HORROR of the image... We see
images of violence on TV and in newspapers every single day and over time we
just stop caring about it, because it's our way of dealing with things... If
we see a picture of a dead civilian lying in some foreign street we think
its awful, but after a while its just ANOTHER image of a dead person... 9/11
was shocking when it happened and it still is, but over time it becomes a
part of the past and our memories of that day fade a little, like a
photograph fades ... There are images of Princess Diana in the paper
everyday now and we can watch documentaries with footage of the terrible
crash, but I think the more we are bombarded by those images we just end up
filtering them out...

I just stretched one of the canvasses today and I had to sit down and really
look at the image for a long time... It's a shocking image of a once
powerful expensive car that has been pulverised, and its shocking because we
know that peoples lives ended in that vehicle...
I want people to look at it up close and really think about what it means...

People might hate this image and hate me for doing it and I respect their
opinions but I am determined to be challenging and take risks and not to
take the safest path

"Difusor is a project for bringing together European artists who use stencils on the street...
We would also like to help create dialogue and links between different stencil-related collectives . All this in a city, Barcelona, with a very important street art scene at a time when the political and cultural debate about this subject is very active. ! "

Clothingwise, I haven't been slacking although I have been focussing on the ART side recently : heres the t-shirt

I was hanging in San Francisco for just under 6 months last year when I got an email from PICTURES ON WALLS to see if I was interested in doing a print for them.. YES.. so inna James Bond fashion I flew back to London to make the PANDAS ROCK print, and then ended up extending my stay to work at the SANTAS GHETTO show on Oxford street , which was AWESOME.. I hung out at POW , did a spot of screenprinting and print rolling, and then spent 3 months down in Wales cutting stencils and making some BIG artworks and collages.. planning, planning, painting.

So now I have set myself up with an office space in Shoreditch, and I have a new home in London Fields...a real house with a garden and all the rest...Since I've been back in London I've been on a steep learning curve working on producing my OWN prints independently , and working on the BEAUTIFUL CRIME site , hooking up other artists on the site and building it up.The next step is to do a BIG PURE EVIL show called MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON MY ENEMIES : BECAUSE I WON'T . Im getting all my paintings from San Francisco and Wales stretched at the moment , and then I am going to punk it and stick them up in a space in the East End, invite some people down and see what happens.

GRAFFITITV.net is my new project, Its aim is to create a full time Graffiti Television channel with art films and documentaries and feature films about graffiti... so far it is online and there is a GTV Youtube group, but I have a dream that one day, there will be a full time graffiti TV channel and I will be able to watch it , get hyped on Graff and then go out and paint....BLISSSSSSS.
If you have any films to submit then go ahead... Anything about graffiti and street art is suitable..
GRAFFITI TV IS MY BABY

I spent 2 months or so working on the website for THE KILLS... its full of their photographs and art and videos and music and I think it totally RULES.
You will too..

Bread and Butter Berlin
PURE EVIL took a trip to Berlin for the BBB show, and did a 20 metre long painting in the music room, set up a space in the WERKSTATT exhibition and had some canvasses in the "UNTITLED" DOCUMENTS OF STREET CULTURE exhibition organised by LODOWN and STREETWEAR TODAY magazines, presented by BREAD AND BUTTER BERLIN. "UNTITLED" documented the whereabouts of street culture, its diverse influences,from skateboarding,music and streetstyle to its iconoclastic artistic expression, and its immense impact on todays pop culture. watch out for the "untitled" book...and check out the streets of Berlin for the PURE EVIL bunnies.
