Graffiti Canary Wharf – Heat 3

Thanks to everyone who’s voted already, we’ve had a great response to our first two heats. Here’s the third set of entries that we’ve had for our graffiti competition. Have a look through and let us know whose work you think would be best for our new Canary Wharf restaurant.  Don’t forget to keep checking back every day this week, as we’ll be posting another set of artists work each day for you to chose from.

18. Irony

Irony

 Irony has a true talent for creeping around in the dark putting up pictures where people didn’t expect them. For him this is a good enough reason to dedicate every waking hour to that end. Embracing traditional letter graffiti concepts as well as stencil art Irony’s work is a mish-mash of visual ideas boiled down into something small enough to carry on the night bus without looking suspicious. Most notable are his beautiful paintings of woman and angels in gothic dresses and television creatures which while very pretty, have a strong anti-authoritarian air about them.

My work is inspired by energy, colour, punk, traveling, old wood cuts, aboriginal art, unity, countryside, collaboration, bold, crowds, upbeat, flow, graffiti, nature, cultures, outsider art and development.

 

  21. Fifteen Frames

 04

 
FifteenFrames is the shared paths of street artists Crack15 and Frame. Different origins and stories in over 15 years in business up against the wall. Name a style, we master it: photorealism, abstract, 2D, 3D, throw it at us.

I like experiment with my art work and doodles often drawing things that take my current interest rather than sticking to one theme. I find myself lately creating very organic illustrations using a few colours and clean lines. I love skateboard and surf board graphics and am currently working on designs for skateboards in the near future. I do love painting and think being able to work on a large wall sounds like great fun.

Everyday life inspires me… I prefer to put my own twist on social situations, this makes daily life alot more interesting, it makes life simpler and it helps me grasp subjects I don’t usually like to confront.
 
 
 
 
 Luke Brabants
 
The things that inspire me as an artist are the little things in every day life, from a crack in the wall that to anybody else is “a crack in the wall” but I can see a whole world of other things, to seing a child drawing from his mind,and not thinking about the meaning behind it. This is still how I like to paint/draw and not thinking about consequences , as this holds people back too much. Without these things for me there is no point in drawing.
 

 

Now you’ve seen all the entries, cast your vote on which you think would look best in Wahaca Canary Wharf. You can only vote once on each heat, so be careful who you chose and look out for the next set of entries over the next few days.
