VILCHEZ

2009-03-16T16:07:00.000-07:00

Currently living in Seville, Spain, Vilchez spends his time finishing a degree in Fine Arts and applying himself to his own illustrations.

His collaborations with LAB show his Lowrider series.

Mi nombre artístico es Vilchez. Actualmente vivo en Sevilla y dedico mi tiempo a acabar la carrera de Bellas Artes y a mi producción personal.

Mis proyectos están directamente relacionados con el mundo de la ilustración y el grabado. Esto se debe sobre todo a la enseñanza de la que he podido disfrutar, basada fundamentalmente en el dibujo.

En estos momentos trabajo colaborando con Little Art Book, para los que estoy produciendo una nueva serie de serigrafías basadas en el mundo del Lowrider, además de una serie de litografías manuales basadas en el mundo del Skate y los jarrones de porcelana china.

El estudio de determinados grupos sociales, además del interés por distintas muestras culturales hacen que mi producción esté marcada por un carácter antropológico al que procuro añadirle un punto de ironía y humor.

STIK

2009-03-16T16:00:00.000-07:00

Using simple freehand stick figures, Stik has stayed true to form for a decade of social commentary.

Resident in a changing Hackney, Stik draws on the concept of refuge for these latest pieces, which also mark Stik’s own rise from the street.

SINNA ONE

2009-03-16T15:58:00.001-07:00

Illustrator and mural maker, adopted his name due to his rebellion of a religious upbringing and experiences of pure hypocrisy within the establishment.

SINNA ONE creates colourful and twisted cartoon characters, influenced heavily from pop art, sci-fi and comic culture, using graffiti/street art mediums and found objects.

His iconic robot character, ‘SINBOT’, a reflection of the artist’s own emotions and experiences, has been sighted the world over.

Created from simple, flowing lines of pure graphite, injected with ink and splattered with sprays, from the heavens he fell, trailing his colours across the sky, crashing to Earth.

Uncertain of where he had come from and where he is going, he walks the earth, dancing a merry dance of naivety, pondering the roots of his existence. The modern world around him troubles and unsettles his mind and he gets no satisfaction with the answers that he finds.

RUGMAN

2009-03-16T15:55:00.000-07:00

Born and raised in Glasgow, Rugman has lived and worked in good East London for the last ten years. His love of 70s America and comic books tend to shine through in his work.

GEMMA WARD

2009-03-16T15:43:00.000-07:00

Gemma Ward’s illustration work speaks loudly of its fashion and photography backgrounds. Fast sweeping lines and dynamic female forms have been developed over a childhood of watching and imitating her mother’s fashion illustration. Further to, an obsession with image, composition, light and movement have intensified through her father's (and eventually, her own) camera lens, as has her insatiable appetite for slick aesthetics. However, the artist admits that the main stylistic drive of her work is less traditional- it’s all about music, and living and working in the London art-music scene.

ELFIN

2009-03-16T15:40:00.001-07:00

Elfin occasionally paints with aerosols but admits her 'can control is mostly absent'. However, she's in her element using markers which have served her well in live jams for the likes of Designer's Block, Secret Wars and Best Joined Up to name a few.

Asides from on walls, you can find her hybrid femme fatales in the form of stickers, screen prints and also on canvas.

DON

2009-03-16T15:37:00.000-07:00

Don is stoked to be part of the BAZAART (Street art festival) painting with so many great names like: Eelus, Randoncuts, Busk, Fark, BonBon, Hutch, Dank, Snub 23, Stickee and many more, it is a dream come true.

Don... started out in '83' - heavily influenced by the film Beat Street + as a member of a breaking crew, combined hip hop dance + rap with graff art. Finding himself drawn more to the art side of the culture, he began tagging + outlining on trains + trackside walls. Constantly reminded of the legal standpoint on graffiti, he turned these 'negative' aspects into the positive, tutoring @ an East End school - constructively educating the children towards the mural form of graffiti art. Don feels his involvement with graffiti has contributed greatly to his understanding + appreciation of the broader spectrum of the ART WORLD, playing a major part in his professional career in the Art Department of Film / TV. He is currently working with a production designer on a feature film + has also incorporated his graff work into several commissions for commercials + tv work. In doing so, Don promotes the art from the street - to a more diverse media.

Don has just completed art work for GHOST club - Farringdon and Exhibiting at the VANS shop in Kingston Upon-Thames. The canvases displayed in VANS are retained canvases from his DON pieces/murals painted in LONDON Town... which are now gone/finished/history/underbelly...

ANTHONY OTTEN

2009-03-16T15:34:00.000-07:00

A graduate of Applied Arts in Jewellery Design (hons) at the University of South Australia, Anthony has always been inspired by all things on a miniature level. Growing up in Adelaide, Australia gave him the chance to be close to nature as well as being able to witness the amazing galaxies and constellations of the outback Australian sky. It was this passion from his upbringing and love for science (previously studying genetics and philosophy) that gave him the inspiration to create wearable handmade body adornments. The idea that ‘creativity is the no-mans land between science and art’ is the philosophy behind Anthony’s work.

ALPS

2009-03-16T15:21:00.000-07:00

Tom ‘Inkfetish’ Blackford was born in London 1981, where he currently lives and works as an illustrator/concept artist as well as exhibiting his paintings and mural work in gallery shows and related events throughout the London area and beyond.

After a couple of years of self publishing comics, his minor cult status increased after unleashing his twisted characters and worlds they inhabit onto the walls of the city and beyond via the medium of spraypaint, enabling him to realise his work on a much larger scale and giving the general public a portal into his world. Through learning how to paint with aerosol, he naturally progressed into canvas using techniques he’d learnt through graffiti and adopting them into the practice of rendering his paintings with acrylics. In doing so, his work has found It’s way into galleries across London exhibiting along side others within the ‘low brow’ fraternity. In September 2008 he was selected as part of a group of 200 artists from across the world to exhibit at the Pixar Animation studios in San Francisco as part of a show based on the iconic movie ‘My Neighbour Totoro’ by acclaimed Animator/Director Hayao Miyazaki.

HENRY REEVE

2009-03-16T05:11:00.000-07:00

I grew up in the Westcountry of England, surrounded by the beauty of the English country side where I studied art, before moving to London where I was surrounded by the not so beautiful underbelly of the city to study design at Saint Martins.

This opposing background of beauty and industry is the reason why my art often is concerned with creating beauty from the everyday.....
And to make something really, really pretty.

EMMA CHAMPELL (Photography)

2009-03-10T11:39:00.001-07:00

Studying at the prestigious Documentary Photography Course at Newport, the exploration of social themes and a lack of local entertainment meant it was here that her ongoing fascination with getting into the thick of it started.

TERMINE GROWTH

2009-03-03T12:23:00.000-08:00

He lives and works in Milan, southern suburbs. Several angles and views of the city are living of his spray and his stencils.

The context where he moves is the street. The city is his cage, a neverending source of inspiration.

Every moment, every breath takes him to analyse, therefore to observe.

He dedicates himself to xilography, art of incision on wooden slabs. The style that he uses drafting the

matrices reflects the one of writing, style that has accompanied him during the past years: a new form of urban conceptual dynamism.

His products are macro lenses for observing the city geography in perennial and constant mutation.

STICKEE

2009-03-03T12:20:00.000-08:00

With over 20 years of skate punk ,Diy stickers and screenprinting under his belt,whether it be Stencil, collage or paste ups Stickee draws his inspiration from all things leftfield with a strong sense of the surreal mixed in with big graphics.

Now in the mix with the VST crew big things are brewing this year.........Raw Power!!!

STEN/LEX

2009-03-03T12:15:00.001-08:00

They introduced the Hole School technique in the stencil world: using just one layer, they are able to create a multi-layer gray scale effect.

They developed the same idea in the Spaghetti Stencil technique, shown at the Can's Festival.

Using parallel lines or dots, the results are the same: an abstract appearance looking closer, and a realist/documentaristic image if observed taking few steps backwards.

SNUB

2009-03-03T12:07:00.000-08:00

SNUB is a graphic revolution fighting the uninvited visual invasion of commercialism. Inspiration is fired by frustration; emotion becomes a plan of attack. Anger is the weapon, and any object the ammo in the fight against the optical overload.

High impact graphics are used to make a statement on anything from backdrops for parties to album covers, clothes, toys, and then back out on to the streets. Experimenting with new techniques to produce diverse works using stickers, paste-ups, stencils and freehand spray paints.

Coming into being in the 1990s, SNUB is the alter ego of a graphic designer, inspired by fictional robot Hammerstein. As part of the Grafik Warfare Collective and as a solo artist, SNUB has exhibited and painted at events across Europe, growing a glowing reputation with every new piece.

SNUB is prolific and unstoppable, and ultimately synonymous with a future technology gone bad.

and brush stroke, to stickers and motion graphics, and are scattered globally from Melbourne to Brighton.

Creating work In a deranged magpie-like fashion, she builds up layers of paint, found materials and printed mass media, and weaves them into a tangible narrative. Whether its erotic, political, charming or down right weird, Mishfit's work is always striking, commanding the eye and the imagination. Sit back and enjoy!

MARCO GRASSI aka PHO ( Milan 1976 )

2009-03-03T11:57:00.000-08:00

He approached Street Art for the first time in Paris trains and walls, influenced by NY and Paris Graffiti Art, he set himself on the Italian street art scene during the early nineties, becoming one of the major protagonists.

In the 1995 he attended the painting class with Luciano Fabro at the Brera's Academy of Fine Arts in Milan, extending his research in materials that the city can offer, recovering elements from the daily life like torn manifestos and wooded pallets, used as support for the pictorial intervention, where the action of the time destroys and transforms the artwork, posing its roots in a urban context.

Moreover (influenced by the oriental painting and the abstract expressionists like Emilio Vedova, Georges Mathieu, Sam Francio ) works using the spray alongside the use of brushes and sponges, characterizing his style with a strong and powerful gesture sign.

K-GUY

2009-03-03T11:49:00.001-08:00

Over the past few of years K•Guy has decorated the streets of London with his hard edged graphic style, often using discarded trash and found objects as the basis or medium of his work. He has brought a poignant, relevant and thought-provoking slant to the street art scene making incisive observations and visual comments about life in the 21st century. His style is hard to pinpoint as he uses a mix of stencil spray paint, freehand painting, wheat pasting and silkscreen to montage and layer up his work and often purposefully degrades his images to fit into the urban spectrum.

Late last year, K-guy dropped what was to be one of the most iconic pieces of street art of 2008 when he installed his 'In Loving Memory of the Boom Economy' memorial shrine outside the Bank of England in the heart of London’s financial district. The media coverage that followed and built over the following week week was phenomenal, and was featured on the BBC and ITV News at Ten, The Times, The Telegraph, The Financial Times, Washington Post and Wall Street Journal. The online exposure was just as impressive with the story getting global recognition and appearing on many websites and blogs across the world.

Her cousin introduced her to marvelous parallel universes at the age of 5 and she never returned to Earth completely. Rhéa attended university in the UK over a decade ago and stayed ever since. Relatively new to the streets of London, her love for sci-fi has created all sorts of mischievous Barbarellas about town and her alien girls are first seen pasted in walls here and there before they are mutated to be part of the world of Finer Arts.

"I don't believe propaganda should hang on walls, I prefer to create references to the fact that some of us will never abandon childhood completely. It's an ode to the kid in my head for getting me through the real world."

DGG: “What makes you happy then?”

In compositions with physical and mental aspects, elements blends, transforms and stands out as the eye moves through the image. Giving a sense of all being some how connected. Sometimes making use of abandoned urban structures as a medium to apply his work, symbolizing regeneration and the sprouting of life in forgotten, 'dead' city spaces. In a simplistic way, celebrating the unity of everything, Pacifying the viewer with flowing continuous lines, relating to human behaviours and the coexistence of the cosmos and beings.

'A one inch punch of strange pop escapism'.

This London 5 piece come on like an English Devo, with schizoid white funk, frenetic, angular, joyous pop songs and witty incisive lyrics. Playing frequently throughout the capital and beyond, Cop on the Edge have been featured on Radio One, BBC 6 Music, and run their own club night ' South eats London' in New Cross.

Bazaart is happy to announce that Photographer Tom Glendining will be exhibiting a new set of images

'I take photographs of bands in dirty club basements, I've been sworn at, kicked in the face and spat on. When I was asked to take part at Bazaart I decided that I wanted to leave that place for a while and create images that were more personal to me.

Using a medium format film camera I started taking portraits of the people in my family.

What I've ended up with, I guess, is an oversized family album......'

BUSK

2009-02-07T06:03:00.000-08:00

Like many of his generation, Busk was part of the hip hop movement in the early eighties & was introduced to graffiti culture in 1985. He's been painting ever since.

Active on the Essex and London scenes during the mid to late eighties, Busk founded the crew Third Decade, and now represents the UK for the Europe wide collective Xcrew.

After a couple of spells at her majesty's pleasure, punctuated by fines and hundreds of hours community service, Busk has moved on from painting trains to less costly forms of self expression, and now works from a studio in East London.

Busk is known worldwide as one of the most technically proficient craftsman with a spraycan, and currently has his work on permanent display at the prestigious 'Ivy Club', above the restaurant in Covent Garden, alongside the likes of Andy Warhol, Damien Hurst, Gerald Laing to name but a few.

His work appears in contexts as various as music videos, clubs, interiors and backdrops.

After 24 years of painting, Busk's passion for graffiti is as strong as ever, and he continues to paint regularly at jams and halls of fame around the UK and Europe.
