MAY’S is excited to present SPICE, TEAZER, DREAM and WATER this Friday, 29th JANUARY 2010.
Welcoming back four of Sydney’s foremost graffiti artists for a collaboration that is set to be one of the freshest works you’ve seen in a long time. Each of the artists brings with them their own experience and style to the collaboration.
Spice has been recognised as a notable presence in Australian hip hop culture since the early 1980s. ‘Most of my work expresses my feelings, whether it’s via my colour coordination, or a few simple words, usually a line of lyrics from a song, written next to my piece.’ – Spice, 2009
Teazer is one of Sydney’s most prolific graffiti artists, known for his large murals which incorporate Manga characters and pop imagery.
Dream One is an infamous writer who, over the past two and a half decades, has provided a visual kaleidoscope on trains and walls throughout Sydney.
Water is back from Berlin and brings his style reminiscent of classic New York graffiti, with fresh colour schemes, to the streets of Sydney.

Banksy is premiering his documentary “Exit through the gift shop” at the Sundance Film Festival, which will include (from what we can see in the trailer) Shephard Fairey, Andre, Mr Brainwash, Sweettoof, others and most probably himself. Check the trailer below:
What better way to start the year than tonights opening of James Jirat Patradoon’s latest solo show “Yours the Demon”. Full details (and images) below:
YOURS THE DEMON is an exhibition of experimental work by screenprinter/illustrator James Jirat Patradoon. Taking a departure from his usual hypercoloured palette and superhero subject matter, this series of large scale black and white drawings take inspiration from the gothic sublime of secret societies and the occult.
James’ intense comic book noir-style images have appeared in magazines such as Nylon, Complex, Acclaim, and Empty. As well as in collaborations with Adidas, Diesel, MTV, Pepsi, Mambo and The Deftones. See more of James’ work at www.jiratpatradoon.com.

After their massive show at Ambush, Beastman Numskull Phibs & Yok have been getting busy outside the gallery painting a series of walls. First 3 are from May Lane in St Peters, and the last is in Dulwich Hill.
After a couple of weeks filled with amazing shows, we thought we’d share some photos of the one exhibition we were involved in supporting. Beastman Numskull Phibs & Yok.
The awesome foursome packed out Ambush Gallery in Waterloo, wall to wall with new paintings, sculptures, installations and even a massive mural in the room next door to the gallery. If you’re interested to see any of the work up close, hit the artists’ website below and get in contact.
Photos of the wall they painted are still coming. Stay tuned…
