Vhils & Kelsey Brookes @ Lazarides Greek Street, by Lazarides London on Jul 30, 2009 14:03:28 GMT 1, ---------------Vhils---------------
As the hugely successful โScratching The Surfaceโ exhibition by Vhils (aka Alexandre Farto) draws to a close at our Rathbone Place gallery this Saturday, the action moves to our Greek Street Shop this coming Friday, the 31st of July, with the highly anticipated release of a rather special edition of our favourite Portugeezer's first book and 3 new hand-finished prints for Lazarides.
Featuring a lazer-cut front cover, the full colour, 80 page, 28 x 22 cm, hard-back book 'Scratching The Surface' is also signed by the artist, is strictly limited to only 100 copies worldwide, and costs ยฃ45.
Vhils has also been hard at work hand-finishing 3 new prints for us, and we're pleased to announce that we'll be making available 10 variants of each edition to be displayed at our Shop on Greek Street from 10 am this Friday. Each print is from an overall varied edition of 30, measures 70 x 49.5 cm, is signed by the artist, and available to purchase at ยฃ350. Whilst both the book and prints can be ordered by calling the Shop on 0203 214 0055/0066 on Friday, those buying in person have the advantage of being able to select their favourite version and take it home right there and then.
---------------Kelsey Brookes---------------
Ahead of his solo show at Quint gallery in California later this year, this Friday also sees us turning over the entire Greek Street basement to confirmed hair-farmer Kelsey Brookes, presenting a host of fantastic new original works on paper from only ยฃ100, many of which were created during a recent trip to land-locked Berlin (Kelsey spends up to 8 hours a day surfing in and around his native San Diego; keeping him well away from waves allows the webbing between his fingers to recede just enough for him to hold a pen and brush) alongside a retrospective of his canvas paintings to date, with selected pieces on sale from ยฃ1000 + VAT.

Vhils & Kelsey Brookes @ Lazarides Greek Street, by Guest on Aug 1, 2009 9:21:16 GMT 1, What is it with Vhils? I just don't get it.
what is there not to get? he creates portraits and cityscapes using paint, ink, bleach, chisels, stencils, ripped paper and drills. In a class of his own IMO

Really looking forward to getting his work up on my wall.

Picked up my book, passed on the print. More pieces from Vhils in the print shop, some nice work from Kelsey- that guy is Kerazeeee.

Vhils & Kelsey Brookes @ Lazarides Greek Street, by nickname on Aug 1, 2009 22:56:42 GMT 1, Bum! I just sat down to read it and there's an error...
The first 2 pages of text are duplicated so there is only half of the essay (I guess).
Still a nice book, just a little less revealing than I had thought above.

Vhils & Kelsey Brookes @ Lazarides Greek Street, by Happy Shopper on Aug 3, 2009 19:30:01 GMT 1, Went down after work this evening. Got the book... there's about 6 signed ones left (although they're all numbered in the 50s, so I'm not sure that's true). Loved the prints, only a few left of each image. I hadn't realised they were the same as the faces on Metal at the main show. The larger water colours are really great though. Very tempting!...

Vhils & Kelsey Brookes @ Lazarides Greek Street, by monkeyballs on Aug 3, 2009 20:16:12 GMT 1, Really enjoyed Kelsey's work. Didnt think a lot of the Vhils prints to be honest, ut there is a very nice work on a door that really grabbed me. Also worked out that I have been mis-pronouncing him all this time, thought it was like Vials, but it is in fact like Veals.
