Sickboy Shows Off Fruits of Labor

UK street artist Sickboy unveiled his interconnectable “Logopop” prints at an eponymous exhibition on Wednesday. Between 8 and 16 inches wide and limited to editions of three, these bold prints were intended for framing alone or in a grid-like format according to the space and budget of buyers. Lasting all of three hours, the short show also saw some more complex spray paint and gold leaf piece, such as these Adam, Eve and apple portraits.

Sickboy Announces Super Short Solo Show

Next week, UK street artist Sickboy opens a solo exhibition of new paintings, installations and “Logopops,” a series of new work for which the show is named. Described as a “visual bullet to the mind,” Logopops are sold in various interconnecting sizes that allow collectors “to create their own bespoke compositions” of Sickboy art. Unlike last year’s Willy Wonka-style exhibition and giveaway, this RSVP-required London show last just a few hours. As the artist says, “Blink and you’ll miss it.”

“Logopop,” 7 – 11 PM on December 16, The Rag Factory, 16-18 Heneage Street, London

Kid Vandal Promotes Upcoming Art Exhibit

In Brooklyn they start ‘em young. Check out KID WHEAT-PASTE as she slaps up her work on the street for this video promoting an upcoming show at Brooklynite Gallery featuring collaborations between children and a band of contemporary artists such as: Sickboy, Pure Evil, Miss Bugs, Dain, Joe Black, K-Guy, and Ludo. “By Any Means Necessary” opens on May 16th and they even got the kids to do the invites although the gallery notes, that because their only between the ages of 2 1/2 and 5, “child labor laws only allowed us to make 110 pieces.”

Sickboy Announces Solo Show, Intentions To Give It Away

Earlier this month, Adam Neate announced his plans to leave 1,000 pieces of original work all across London and now, in what could emerge as a trend amongst British street artists, we hear that Sickboy is unveiling a new solo show with the intention of allowing one lucky person to “inherit” the collection. He’s producing 1,000 gold keys, Willy Wonka style, but only one will fit into a special lock at his Stay Free installation and “the person whose key fits the lock will become the new owner of the Factory”—estimated value: $30,000. To hype the show and mock corporate sponsored street art exhibits, Sickboy left this caged heart installation outside the Tate Modern, clearly unhappy with their 11 Spring type show earlier this summer. The show opens on December 3rd and the following day to the general public.
