CompARTment workspace

Projects


I have been working with compARTment for a little while now. They are a not for profit organisation, based in Brighton, that look for empty spaces to use for arts projects and community work.

They currently have a space at the open market in Brighton that I regularly use as a studio space.

This can be rented at lo-cost for studio space, exhibitions, pop up shops, experimenting with materials etc.

Yesterday Women 158 popped along and put up this beauty on the right. Today, I felt that she seemed a little lonely so painted this artist character.

Getting Prehistoric!!

Collaborations, Festivals, Projects, Uncategorized



A sneak peek at some of the stuff I’ve been up to recently.This giant beast is part of a project that I have become involved in. It is going to be showcased at the Secret Garden Party this year as part of an action camp called “Wonky Paleontology” The sculpture is made of papier mache, cloth and piping and is in pieces. The bones will be buried in to a sand pit and then dug up and put together to make a giant puppet. The project is the brain child of artists at the Crescent Studios in Brighton, Katherine Griffin, Elizabeth Jardine and Carinan Blijdenstein. If you are at SGP or Playgroup festival this year then you may just catch a glimpse of this creature.

Brighton Festival 2011 – Grafik Warfare Wall

Commissions, Events, Festivals, Projects, Walls

Brighton Festival GW

Since April, I have been painting a lot of wall space around Brighton

May was no exception with youth projects, community works and an invitation from the Brighton Festival to produce a large scale mural to honour the Burmese political leader and freedom fighter, Aung San Suu Kyi.

She was this years festival curator and was also made ‘Honorary freewoman of the city’.

The mural was completed by Grafik Warfare members, Dan Kitchener and Snub23, as well as myself. The main image was completed in just a day with the help of a scissor lift and lots of paint! Lettering and logos were created using stencils.

The original design by Harrison and Co.was  taken from the brochure of the Brighton Festival and depicts Suu Kyi looking over Brighton.

The finished wall now stands proud on Kensington Street in the North Laines area of the city and was featured in the Guardian a few days after completion.

There was another Sinna and Snub collaboration on a shutter in Circus street to promote the exhibit by Kutlug Ataman. This design was the back cover of the brochure.

Thanks to all involved –

It has been very busy in the last few weeks with plenty of walls around Brighton available for the paintage. Quite a few have had the Sinna treatment and this is only the beginning….

Happy Rhyster piece, New England House, Brighton

Poem reads –

“A Breach of the peace was achieved by the beast named Rhys. The Badgers came from far and around. The Rijarf did tut, got herself in a rut, whilst the Fluboozle rejoiced in the sound. There was an almighty cry as the B-Boy Butterfly arrived with his boom box a shaking. Clarky cat grinning wide, to the bass heavy vibe, knew that this was megafun in the making.”
