Work In Progress – Hong Kong

Posted by beastman | Posted on June 18, 2013 by beastman

Last week we (Rone, Meggs & Beastman) travelled to Hong Kong to take part in the ‘Work in Progress’ art project in Taikoo Place, Island East, HK.

Hitting the ground running the three of us had 48 hours to complete a large wall mural/installation each, dine in HK style, drink beers and pose for photos in the lead up to Friday night’s launch party – which attracted more than 1,400 people, a lot of vodka drinking and some impromptu crowd bombing/building trashing! Thanks to May, Lauren, Swire, Cyrcle, Spencer, all the artists, all the Dougs and all the local crew who made this whirlwind, sensory overload trip a lot of fun!

Curated by Hong Kong gallery Above Second, ‘Work in Progress’ is a three-week exhibition which transforms the loading bay and entire 13th floor of a now defunct office space into one of the biggest street art exhibitions ever to be presented in Asia, which aims to change the perspective of individuals about the artistic credibility of street art. Featuring artists from around the world (USA, Australia, Portugal, France, England, & Denmark) including Beastman, Cyrcle, Meggs, RONE, VHILS, Victor Ash & Cannonball Press. As well as local artists Xeme, Mark Goss, 4Get, Pantone C, Parent’s Parents and Peter Yuill, brought together by Hong Kong Youth Arts Foundation (YAF).

Posted by Bob | Posted on May 10, 2013 by Bob

Not many people know about Adelaide’s busy art scene, but by now you most definitely should.

Oi You! Festival recently opened with a giant collection of originals and prints from some of the world’s most reknown street and graffiti artists including Bansky, Phil Frost, Faile, David Choe and many more. Along with the exhibition came art giveaways, screenings, street art tours and a series of large scale murals painted around Adealide city by Rone, Lister, Vans the Omega, Beastman, Kab 101, Gary Seaman, Seb Humphreys and more.

We caught some of the murals as they were being painted around town. See the full set below, a few images were taken by Adelaide Street art, Vandalog and Graff Central.

Oi You street art festival – Adelaide

Posted by Bob | Posted on April 15, 2013 by Bob

Adelaide doesn’t get as much attention as it should. We’ve been there a bunch of times and experienced some of the most talented and hard working artists in the country do their thing. For example Vans The Omega is from Adelaide, and he is one of the most recognized graffiti artists in the world. Also for example, Rawhide (Ankles & Smiles) are some of the busiest and most creative roller/type artists we’ve come across. We could go on, but we won’t, because Oi You Festival is going to showcase all that Adelaide has to offer and ALOT more.

Boasting the Oi You collection (remember that mammoth Banksy collection that was at Outpost?), a series of local showcases and some large scale murals by Rone, Anthony Lister and Beastman. If all that doesn’t grab your attention, then maybe the blow video will or find out more here. Stay tuned for some coverage while the event is on.

INSA x RONE “GIF-ITI” – Melbourne

Posted by Bob | Posted on April 11, 2013 by Bob

INSA has been in and around our sunny shores for a few weeks now, and it seems he’s been busy bothering Rone with his layers and layers of GIF-ITI techniques down in Melbourne. This is one one of the most innovative and well suited collaborations we’ve seen in a while. See below for the magic.

Everfresh at Pow Wow Hawaii – Rone, Meggs, Phibs & Wonderlust

Posted by Bob | Posted on March 4, 2013 by Bob

Mural festivals have become part of the norm these days, and one that sticks out for us is most definitely Pow Wow Hawaii. What better environment to hold and art festival, than the paradise that is Hawaii.

This year saw a handful of the Everfresh studio artists, including Rone, Meggs, Phibs and Wonderlust make the journey over to leave their mark. And as always, they didnt fail to impress. Check out these large scale walls below, and a process video of the Rone / Wonderlust wall.

This is officially the first post I have done on TOH. And what better way to celebrate, then to flood your feeds with a whole lot of photos from my recent trip to Melbourne. One of my favourite cities in the world. We visited our friends at Everfresh, saw the TEES show and painted in two of Melbourne‘s most visited spots. More photos and trash talk below…

First stop was EF. Their studio is always fun to be at. The amount of hard working artists that reside there is pretty inspiring. There’s always someone painting. Always…

Outside: Rone for Port Vila, Vanuatu

Posted by Bob | Posted on January 14, 2013 by Bob

Rone recently headed to Port Vila, Vanuatu, where he got involved with the local community to produce a killer mural on a local wall. He even managed to get some help from the kids to do his fills. Paradise… More on Rone here.

“There was no real plan to this I just asked if I could paint this wall and I thought it would be great to get the kids to help. I marked up the outlines and was surrounded by the local kids so I gave them paint brushes and put them to work.

It was hectic with so many people to paint the same thing but it was an incredible opportunity to meet and work with people from a different culture.”

Video: Rone & Meggs at The People’s Market, Melbourne

I’m sure by now everyone has seen the photos of the massive wall Rone and Meggs did for The People’s Market in Melbourne. Well, Everfresh member Callum Preston documented the entire process. Great video, and really interesting to see Meggs’ use of a mop to emulate his canvas splatters. Nice!
