Cripta Djan - Street work and Up Coming Show, by craigf on Jul 10, 2018 21:32:12 GMT 1,

I've seen that there was an initial post regarding the show so I am not going to duplicate the information that has been posted already:

I am very lucky to live close to London where I can easily get to many shows and have over the years enjoyed spending time in a range of galleries across the capital enjoying established and upcoming artists.  I think for a long time I was quite spoilt in this way especially around 2007 - 2010 when the scene was buoyant.

Fast forward to 2018 and I find there are less galleries bringing emerging or established overseas artists to us and far fewer artists are discussed than once before.  

That was until now.  This show really interests me and I hope it gets the forum and the wider art community behind it, why?

It's being brave - Hosting a show outside of London, in our second city, breaks the mold and hopefully means people who can't normally make the trip to the capital get to view the art first hand without a long and costly journey. 

Relevance - It brings a true street artist to the UK for the first time introducing their work and the background of Pixadores.  I have visited Sao Paulo on a couple of occasions, the street art is enthralling and getting to see some first hand in the UK will open up his work to many more people.

Location - as well as being outside of London the redevelopment of Birmingham, the industrial backdrop and the slow transformation of the city is going to work really well for his street pieces.  Just have a look at the post on Instagram this morning on Suben Art Managements account

Who's involved -

Javelin Block, I am sure many of you follow their instagram and are well aware of those involved and the work they do.  Opening up a space for the show has enabled this to happen and continues their support of the city. 

Their instagram includes another peak at the new street piece:

Suben Art Management - Rather than rest on the laurels of having one of the most talked about artists on here Max is opening up our eyes to Djan's work

I am really looking forward to seeing the work on Friday and I think its great that that along with the original work a print will be available for those who visit the show.
