Xenz | Pecking Disorder | Outsiders Newcastle, by lazaridesnewcastle on Mar 9, 2011 17:14:53 GMT 1, The Outsiders Newcastle is delighted to present Pecking Disorder, the first show by major street artist Xenz in his native north of England. This exhibition combines all elements of the artists work by mixing new and exclusive work with personal pieces that have remained just that until now. This is a rare opportunity to see paintings that are usually only glimpsed amid the chaos of the artist's studio in London. The show also functions as a retrospective, creating an insight into the artist's manifold inspirations throughout his prolific street art career dating back to the 80s.
โAs a whole the show examines the idea of taking a holiday in paradise without realising that paradise is all in the mind,โ says the artist. โNormally I paint a fantasy world, so this body of workโs been interesting to produce as it contains mostly urban scenes. Iโve put in some older work that seems to resonate within that context, like the drunken canary which to me symbolises over-consumption.โ
Born in 1974, Xenz started life as an artist by painting murals inside derelict warehouses in Hull, Yorkshire. His illustrative style, combining the natural world and psychedelia with street culture, was considered shocking within the graffiti scene at the time. Xenz was also one of the first street artists to evolve the notion of the city as a canvas, placing his pieces in seemingly unsuitable but arresting locations. Inspired by films and books documenting the sub culture in New York he initially used the tag ʻSense,ʼ which has evolved into that which he uses today. He spent time living in Bristol where he was instrumental in the founding of one of the UK's longest-standing and most respected graffiti crews TCF, alongside artists such as Banksy and Inkie. He now lives in London with an ever-growing family of mice.

Xenz | Pecking Disorder | Outsiders Newcastle, by lazaridesnewcastle on Mar 10, 2011 0:39:54 GMT 1, We've had a lot of enquiries about editions and so on, so we thought we'd let you know that yes, there will indeed be hand-painted screen prints, varied multiples on found materials, and small originals in the show. These will first be made available to those attending the gallery before going online at a later date, as will a free limited edition poster which will be given to the first 100 people through the door on the opening night.

Xenz | Pecking Disorder | Outsiders Newcastle, by .dappy on Mar 17, 2011 0:00:57 GMT 1, I know that xenz does not necessarily provide detail in his work of the birds and fish that he has done to date and it is the 'brushstroke' that conveys the work and contents, but is it me or is the overall imagery quite poor in this silkscreen? or am I talking out of my ****. PS I do like xenz's work.
