Could Banksy be among guests at opening, by fingerz on Nov 16, 2014 22:57:18 GMT 1, BANKSY, the legendary anonymous graffiti artist, could just be among guests attending the opening of Roche Art urban street art gallery in Ealing.
The event will be on December 5 from 5-9pm on the site of the former Gallery Travid Fine Arts, 56 St Mary’s Road. Entry will be free.
The gallery will be showcasing art by the Secret Society of Super Villain Artists, as well as works by Banksy and others.
Gallery owner Frankie Roche, 52, said: “Urban art is on the increase as people can relate to it more than if they were looking at an oil painting. Banksy is anonymous, yet he is an international artist.”
Known as SSOSVA, pronounced s-s’over, the secret society was formed in 1921 by an individual known as Silent Bill.
It is made up of a diverse mix of artists who, through their art, aim to make a difference in the world - while having fun.
SSOSVA’s unique symbol, which includes skull and crossbones, can make it seem anarchic, but the society is adamant it does not condone any vandalism.
It says its branding is nothing more than symbolism and is similar to a secret handshake or passing nod, so members can instantly recognise each other.
As Banksy is so secretive, he could attend the opening without being recognised.
This will be a second gallery for Roche Art, the first being in Ladbroke Grove.

In a public art performance, Franki roach will be banging nails into the coffin of a popular art form, whilst tugging himself off with a handful of tenners using the other hand

Yeah and Banksy "could" be Otis.
""Known as SSOSVA, pronounced s-s’over, the secret society was formed in 1921 by an individual known as Silent Bill.""
1921 more likely founded at 19:21 pm.
""Society of Super Villain Artists was founded in 1921 by Silent Bill and has been responsible for most of the major art forgeries and heists of the 20th century."" www.silentbill.co.uk/ssosva.html
If only
These guys could be what the art world has been waiting for, but I keep getting them mixed up with the Secret Society of Super Villains.

I think Banksy had a go once with his version of Stonehenge?
Wonder if anyone has tagged or painted on Bankrobbers house wall?

Members dont pay to join. The membership card (aka lockpicking kit) is just a nice lil piece of art.

It's a nice bit of art, and could double up as a stencil too.
So that mystery members can leave their mark in places.
Mainly wine bars in Chelsea I would imagine.
