Urban Art Association

I’ll endeavour to take and share plenty of photos for you and others who may not be able to visit. I will, however, leave your dreams intact!

Thanks for sharing this Lazarus II, I missed it entirely. I have to confess that I know nothing whatsoever about KMG but intrigued to see what a large Fanakapan might look like. I’ve never been his biggest fan but really enjoyed his collab with Nuno Viegas (who was supposed to be here last year before it was cancelled). Interested to see what he does...and where. Thanks again!

“STUCK UP”
Most everyone will have heard the phrase "Stuck Up", a term used for those projecting an air of superiority, -in other words, a snob. An attitude that's possibly more prevalent in the arts than many other industries, and though we're not advocating for class war, we are using this particular project to promote and hopefully activate a more vernacular art on the streets.

Join us in attempting to create the world’s largest official “Paste Up” wall in Aberdeen City Centre this summer, in a concerted effort to put this art form firmly under the public spotlight. We have over half a kilometer of wall space to cover, so that means not only works curated by Nuart founder Martyn Reed in collaboration with flypost legends UNCLE, a wall of political street posters by London’s renowned Flyingleaps, celebrating their fifth anniversary - but also space for your art too. 

Posters, Poems, Print outs, Photos, Collages -from the tiny to the huge, all accepted, if we can paste it to a wall, we will.

Drop off or post your work to the address above and as long as it isn’t massively offensive, we’ll paste it up.

To reach us before Aug 1st, but the sooner the better.

We had a lot of fun with KMG last week in Aberdeen, she created a couple of monster pieces, one of which is sure to be a city landmark. Kicked off today with master painter Henrik Uldalen who's working his magic with us again. Next up team SNIK. Keep an eye on our insta for updates. nuartaberdeen @nuartfestival 

Henrik Uldalen finished up today, an amazing piece. Such a talent. Next up, Snik arriving on Friday

Really do think this is an incredible piece and quite like the narrative that accompanies this post.

Henrik is a fabulous artist. I bought what I think was his first print many years ago. Sadly I missed out on the small originals he was selling a year or two ago. I’ve not heard much mention of him on here for a while.

He really is very talented isn’t he? Like others here, i passes up on the opportunity to buy a small original a year or two ago. Definitely one of those that I’ve regretted subsequently. Really enjoyed seeing him creating a street piece though as I’ve not seen many by him. I’m going to head into the city to see this one and Snik’s some time next week I think. Will share some photos when I do.

Completely off topic: I have one of his watercolours. I bought it in 2016. It's for sale for the right offer.

Send me a message if you are interested!

Going to be a stunner this one!

Did you manage to bag a free print in the treasure hunt mrizzle?

Great pictures, congratulations on the print, what a fabulous day!

Very cool and so pleased that you managed to get one too turntored. I know of one other big fan who also got one so they look like they ended up going to good homes.

Thanks so much Coach! It really has been a very memorable day.

Never mind Lazarus II. You can hit the town next weekend. It's Fanakapan up next!

Excellent, so good to see forum heads picking up the prints and showing the event some love. And remember, you or your kids or your friends can join the event by sending in your own works on paper. We'll be pasting up from the middle of this month with works from some great names that you'll all know and love.
