Urban Art Association

Nice review mate.

what was it Matt said to you that 'summed up the scene'

I cannot believe most of the line got in and went straight to buy without even worrying about the show itself. crazy stuff.

Gerry, thanks for the excellent insight and photographs on your blog. Sure is appreciated by those of us unable to attend. Looks like a stunning and well-supported show.

Cheers Gerry. Great write up as per usual.

Top stuff Gerry. Love the "random" crowd shot. Answers on a postcard please. Great pics.

Yes, this is a crazy crazy scene right now.

Yeah - very strange. I figured they must have known something I didn't! Really enjoyed the show though. C215 strolled past us with a stencil and can of paint whilst we were queueing and hit one up on a bin near by.

Went to support matt spqr and glad i bought quick, you dont wait ages and travel for hours to not get what you want. His after sales have gone up and so has his general prices but dont knock a guy for doing well. No one complains when the big boys sell out in seconds, thats just life like at the recent NW show ( good to see him anyway). Matt is a great level headed guy his future is in his hands and i hope he does well.
Also got the 7ft long Rowdy not sure how to get that home.
Well done to the person who got the will barras they were great to.
Really enjoyed the show after the manic start but im happy.

I think people must have just queued up and asked 'what prints have you got ?'.
Worst thing is the queue obscured C215's awesome 'orange' work which is probably why no pics in the review.(although you shot my mate actually looking over the prints)

Highlight for me was arriving just as C215 hit the door opposite the entrance and later talking with the guy. Great to meet romanywg too cheers for the beer !

Great show last night! ;D ;D ;D

Massive well done to SPQR ;D All the prints were gone by the time we got there, but the canvases on display were brilliant. They were just so sharp and crisp! and I loved the gradients he had done on some of the layers ;D Quality!

Sorry to anyone I dint get the chance to have a chat with I'm pretty shy at these sort of events

Great to see so many Artists at the show Nick Walker, SPQR, Misteraitch, Dicy, Guy Denning, Motorboy, and I guess a few more that might have been undercover

Got a couple of pieces last night ;D Cyclops print, and a K-Guy ;D

I will get to work on the video this mornin and get it up on youtube as fast as I can for everyone that dint get the chance to go last night.

nothing on ebay yet, unlike the nick walker show

i really enjoyed the show, there was some excellent work on display. as usual nice to meet some familiar faces and some new ones.
my favorite pieces of the show in no particular order were(almost no names known):-
Khanage- her huge canvas
Guy Dennings canvas
Cyclops-Ian Curtis canvas
SPQR's- Hey Ho and May day.
of the prints i really liked Cyclops charlie brown and SPQR's Paint Bomber has printed really well too.
it was nice to finally meet CBL, he is a cool as i imagined he would be. Top good to meet you too.

Top-notch show, great artwork and Matt was the star. He chatted with people all day, and he is really down to earth, cool guy. Yes, it has been spoiled a bit, as you had to go straight to buy stuff, before even had a chance to look at it, but that is the way it goes now days. If you let all people in - at the same time - that's what happened. I got my SPQR print, but before I had a chance to decide what else to get it was too late. The queue was too big, and I did not stand a chance. Despite making a long journey and waiting for several hour’s all other stuff that I wanted to get, was gone. No one had any chance of knowing what art is there and what the prices would be like so you had to go for your gut instinct and buy what you really like on the spot. Despite what others might think, I don’t think it would be too many ebay items from the show and the one who flip them, would be the ones who moan about it the most!!!
