Normally what happens at Mays is that a bunch of different artists float in at random times (sometimes all at once) and paint sections of the main wall, including 4 small panels and one large. The format has been great, allowing as many artists as possible to come whenever and display their work.
However, this year sees the new format. Like when they first started, Mays gives one artist the whole laneway to decorate themselves from top to bottom, side to side. To kick it off they have chosen Melbourne based Vexta, who has painted the laneway a couple of times since it’s beginnings so the Mays team were super excited to have her on board for the whole wall.
We headed down to May Lane, St Peters today (just as the rain subsided) to check out Vexta in action as she prepares the whole feature wall of the Mays project.
Opening 6PM Friday 8 April, 2011.

MAY’S presents VEXTA
Opening 6PM Friday 8 April, 2011
MAY’S presents exhibition of street art by Melbourne based VEXTA
MAY’S is excited to present Melbourne artist VEXTA. VEXTA will introduce her magical winged figures to the lane. These half-human half-animal creatures explore the way we have confined ourselves in our concrete jungles and the effect this has on our psyches. VEXTA’s obsession with cosmology, concepts of life, death and the future of mankind form the basis of her work.
VEXTA will be painting the massive 24 meter length of MAY’S Lane; the feature panel measuring 360x276cm plus 4 panels 235x160cm.
Artist Statement
‘Sometimes we are so alienated from everything and everyone around us and yet sometimes I feel like the tiny atomic particles keeping our bodies together could fracture at any moment and it could all merge together…’ – VEXTA
VEXTA’S work has been shown in exhibitions across Australia and internationally and she recently spent time creating site specific wall works in Paris, Berlin, London and Bogota.
About MAY’S Lane
The MAY’S Lane Art Project is an outdoor gallery space located in St Peters in Sydney’s inner west. In April 2005, Tugi Balog joined with artist Jim Singline to create MAY’S, a project aimed at highlighting and further promoting the laneway’s activity. Each month MAY’S invites Street Artist/s to paint in the exhibition space that consists of five panels hung in window spaces along the side of the Graphic Art Mount building in May Lane. At months close, the panels are taken down and replaced afresh for the next ‘chapter’ in the project. The artworks are on view 24 hours, 7 days a week.

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.
An exhibition of graffiti by SPICE, TEAZER, DREAM and WATER
OPENING: 6-8PM FRIDAY 29th JANUARY, 2010
