JONATHAN YEO UNVEILS ‘BUSH’

"Lazarides gallery, 8 Greek Street, London W1D 4DG

Tuesday 28 August; 2.00pm 

Acclaimed portrait artist Jonathan Yeo will be unveiling his latest work on Tuesday 28th August at 2.00pm at Lazarides gallery on Greek Street. 

Yeo was commissioned to undertake a portrait of US President George W Bush by a high-profile American organisation, but was later told his services were not required. He decided to continue the commission on his own, and Tuesday’s unveiling will reveal the fruit of his labours. 

The portrait contains images which some people may find offensive".

on the site previously occupied (very temporarily) by Dface's CND logo's piece which the local advertising agency objected to.

Heres a few pictures from the now open Eine show at Kemistry in Charlotte Road Shoreditch including a massive Mash The Tate piece outside. Inside there are a wealth of new canvases with a concrete style finish - which manage to have a kind of a wet look about them.

Some new work by Dface around Truman Brewery's car park.

Last few days of the Adam Neate show at Elms Lesters.

A couple of regular paste ups I've seen around London but know little about - so if you know any more please get in touch.

First up is (I think) Eness with some great stencil / print (?) work which is then appplied to the street by means of a paste up.

Secondly posters like these 'Watch Your Neighbor' have been appearing in London with various slogans for some years now - but again I don't know a great deal about them.

Nick Walker's  Moona Lisa has recently appeared outside Cargo in Rivington Street London. Which is handy for those living in London who want to see it in the 'flesh' as it last appeared (I think) at Nuart in Norway!

I was never much cop at those Magic Eye puzzles so I guess I shouldn't be surprised that I stood staring but not getting Paul Insect's doctored Tube Map at the Bullion show. I could see an area shaded black with a line coming from it:

Of course looking at it again and standing back a bit further it becomes obvious whats going on - but just in case here's a photoshopped version that makes it clear:

All of which reminds me of the excellent animalsontheunderground site.

Well that all took a little longer than expected but I'm back in the country. Has Stansted Airport along with Ryanair become the rock worlds airline of choice? Lemmy from Motorhead was waiting for a car outside the airport terminal and before that I shared the boring baggage reclaim section with half of Conflict!

Anyway here's something a bit on the massive side, Eine's new supersized 'Scary' piece in Rivington Street (opposite Cargo). Great stuff, dingy tunnel and huge accompanying text. All of which means that I can mention that Eine has a rocking new website einesigns.co.uk and a solo show coming up (details on his website).

Adam Neate has a solo show at the Elms Lesters painting rooms on at present. I went along today and it is simply stunning. Everything has long since sold out but it's on for a while yet so if you are in town this would be the first place I'd recommend going to because there's no better show on at the present time. Elms Lester have been supporting street artists for a many years now to not much financial reward so it's good to see them have a such a successful show for all their hard work.

I think this may have finally gone now (correct me if I'm wrong) but here's the punk girl piece by an unknown artist outside the Roundhouse in Chalk Farm.

Finally for today I never managed to get a ticket for Ruts with Henry Rollins gig (£150 for a pair on Ebay) but somebody has kindly posted up some videos on YouTube. Great stuff - find them here. There's an official benefit DVD to come too. The Ruts and Rollins was a great combination, great music and a great front man (just don't ask me what happened when I interviewd Henry Rollins many moons ago)!

More soon
