Urban Art Association

Collaboration - Joseph Loughborough and Ben Slow, by bs on May 7, 2010 14:35:48 GMT 1, We have been working on a little collaboration in the sun over the past few days, good fun to mix it up a bit and see what would happen

So this is what ended up coming together



The piece is called 'Closer Leon'

We both put down the background, my lighter tones and Joe's darker ones
Then Joe went to work with the charcoals and sculpted the face which I then went into with my inks, cans and pens before Joe finished off with a few final touches
Really good fun, nice to step out of your comfort zone and try something new

We are doing a joint exhibition out in Vitry, Paris at the end of June. We will be spending the whole of June out there as resident artists, putting the show together as well as doing some street work. Also a little trip to do some live painting at an art fair at the Louvre at the beginning of the month,

So if anyone is interested in the piece and wants to put in a sensible offer then hit either of us up, any money will be used to help us survive our month in Paris, be nice to afford some decent food every once in a while rather than the baked beans i can see us living on for most of the month, sniff sniff

'Closer Leon'
100cm X 70cm
Charcoal, ink, acrylic, marker and spraypaint on canvas
