SAVAGE – Canvas With Tags
One of my recent fluorescent coat hanger design concepts on a canvas. I used yellow and pink fluorescent spray paint and also standard baby blue. I then tagged in white with black outlines.
“DAMN THE GRAFFITI KIDS ” Spar Shop Signage
I love how this old SPAR shop signage has turned out. I put some random tags on it and coated it with a matt varnish. This sign is made of perspex and is around 177cm x 67cm (just under 6ft horizontal x 3ft vertical!) I bought this at an auction and thought it would...
If you love art, you’ll love Brighton, well and Hove as they were brought together as one city in the year 2000.
Brighton is full of colourful street art ranging from the normal Graffiti tags to full buildings murals. Many houses, businesses and shop fronts have been given a colourful and creative personality, you just want to take photos, well I do anyway. This is great publicity for the businesses the art is on as people share it across social media platforms!
Brighton is certainly a place that is well photographed and has become one of the most used hashtag on Instagram, especially related to pictures of graffiti street art. When I last checked the hashtag on Instagram #Brighton, had a whopping 6,855,500 posts/photographs and most were related to graffiti street art, graffiti tags and spray paintings.
I think experiencing day trips to Brighton as a child and seeing the art scene is where my love of art secretly began. Then in 2017, meeting one of the most iconic and prolific graffiti artists in the world named “AROE” inspired me to paint. This was the very first time I picked up a spray can and got creative and started designing sunglasses. This friendship allowed me to watch, learn and experience art in a totally different way from what I remember art being like at school. In under two years, I was selling some of my art all around the world.
Here is one of my many fun trips out with AROE.
This typical day out with AROE was filmed around Brighton and it doesn’t really capture the city, but it does show that people embrace art, even inside the shops, like the barbershop you saw in the video. Art was never the norm for me, but it certainly is now, and I love it!
Aroe jets around the world painting on trains, buildings and often creates original canvases and runs of prints for top galleries that sell for thousands. His latest project is creating unique crypto art!
Brighton is full of diversity, people, food and beliefs, a great city to experience if you get the opportunity. My advice is to book a trip to Brighton and Hove and experience what it has to offer.
