If you can't get there then here are a few photos. I will put some more up on the artbleat facebook page this weekend.

UTOPIA AT THE UNIT LONDON

The Unit in west London are hosting a rather special event in the latter half of December. Utopia is a group show consisting of a plethora of artists who have contributed work with the brief "to explore themes of hope, optimism and happiness"
The gallery are working together with Shelter, the national campaign for homeless people.
20% from the sale of the art on show will be donated to Shelter as well as some of the artists donating 100%

" The gallery will be fully transformed into a 'Utopia' for the show, with neon installation, bespoke flooring and set design - it will be a spectacle as much as an exhibition.!"

Quite a few of the artists involved are no strangers to artbleat including Andrew McAttee, Copyright, Pure Evil, Carrie Reichardt, Snik etc... and a quick google search on some of the names I haven't encountered have turned up some pleasant surprises.

There is a lot more info on the Unit London's facebook page HERE 

In order to promote this event and help to remind us all how lucky we are to have a roof over our heads, The Unit London, as one part of their campaign have been busy producing a short film, which you can see below. 

The private view will take place on Wednesday 18th December from 6-10pm.
You will need to email art@theunitlnd.com to RSVP 

artbleat will be there to take some photos for those who can't make it.

LONDON: BEN OAKLEY AND ASBOLUV

Facebook Event page until I can get more up.

P.V. Friday 22/11/2013
Greenwich London

Press Release

"Ben Oakley Gallery is proud to present the last of its two man shows of 2013. ‘Cut to the Bone’ features exceptional new work by Asboluv and Ben Oakley, both artists who delight in a touch of provocation here and there. This show does not disappoint! A multi media experience full to the hilt of powerful yet intricate new works. 
Asboluv produces images of beauty and decay. His iconic Afro-girl signature flows throughout his work. He plays with light and dark to create images that touch the heart and disturb the soul. As well as the gallery his work can be seen on the streets and in derelict spaces of the UK.
Oakley has produced an eclectic mix of subversive, provocative, sculptural works alongside some stencilled hand tinted photographs, taking his work into another fine new direction, all linked with his to be expected thread of dark humour and inventiveness."

NEWCASTLE: DALEAST REDOK

DALeast has the opening night on Thursday (21st) at Outsiders in Newcastle.. 

I won't be there so if you fancy going along and take your camera send us in a few shots.

The show runs until 21st December.

Press Release:
"DALeast's solo exhibition REDOK – a Tibetan phrase meaning "hope and fear" – features animal paintings in traditional portrait formats, taking inspiration from commissioned works of the early modern era. The portraits are painted in the artist's distinctive, inspiring style. They include the tea-stained backgrounds, which he lovingly builds over many months, that feature on many of his bravura gallery pieces.REDOK also includes study sketches, a video installation, and two limited edition etchings created by the artist at our Execution Dock print studio, titled Circulated Dawn and Circulated Dusk, each from a signed and numbered edition of 50, measuring 62.5cm x 50cm, and priced at £225"

DALE GRIMSHAW: WONDERLAND

I've had this sitting in draft for a few days and eager to get it out. This incredible street piece by Dale Grimshaw is entitled Wonderland. It's from his "2Worlds" theme. You can find this in London on Clifton Street EC2A, Beautifully formed from spray paint and sweat.
When quizzed Dale explained:

 "I wanted something that represents an innocence, organic, age-old custom, "primitive" even, spiritual -  opposed to the commercial, corporate monster of a machine that is Disney, along with other references to western/USA culture" 

Below is the piece on the same wall the Dale painted over when creating wonderland, if you fancy a look at Dale's website then you can go HERE or if you are more of a facebook fiend then HERE. 

Just one more.. Different wall but still in London, not sure if this is still there though.

LONDON: BRUTAL.
