Pure Evil's Live East Die Young

PURE EVIL SOLO SHOW AT INK-D GALLERY BRIGHTON !!!

4th July-2nd August 2008

"To understand a bit about the artist PURE EVIL it is illuminating to know that he is a descendant of Sir Thomas More, the Lord Chancellor who wrote the controversial work Utopia and who was later beheaded by King Henry VIII. With this busy background (Sir Thomas was later canonised) it is only natural that Pure Evil should explore the darker side of the wreckage of Utopian dreams and the myth of the Apocalypse, a belief in the life-changing event that brings history with all its conflicts to an end.

Using dark humour and twisting symbolism to create new forms, the new show looks at what lurks around the corner on the secret streets of London and sheds light on the things under our noses that we never take the time to notice - as we hurtle forwards into the future...

Take a look at this extraordinary new street artists new originals and prints this July at Ink_d and prepare to be challenged, amused and delighted."

Overnight Tale of a Free Wall Soule Stencil

During the Stencil Nation Olympia, WA stop, SOULE came down from Seattle to be at the presentation. Last Word has a free wall behind it's store, located in an alley back off the main street. SOULE brought stencils to get up on the wall. Me, D-FENS, and some other writers got up too. One woman cut out a section of SOULE"S piece to keep as an artifact. Then SOULE cut a piece out. After that, well, you should check out this slide presenation of what happened after that. Artifacts for everyone!
