“Trespass Alliance: Inside Urban Art” is a new exhibition at the Andipa Gallery featuring works from renowned artists including: D*Face, a London-based multimedia street artist famed for putting defaced 10 pound notes into circulation and creating a 9ft tall ice sculpture of a spray-can in the Arctic Circle.
Also there is Swoon, a New York-based artist known for her life-size wheatpaste prints and cut-out paper portrayals of people going about their everyday life; and WK Interact, a French artist based in New York, known for his black and white painted murals of skaters, kung-fu masters, boxers and mountain climbers.
“Street” art, whose high priest is Bristol-based graffiti artist Banksy, is growing in popularity across the world: in a typical week, the Andipa Gallery will sell works to collectors in Mexico, Kuwait, Paris, Los Angeles and London.
