With being so busy with work I haven't been as frequent as posting up work and other stuff on the blog and completely forgot about the Mr brainwash "Life is beautiful" exhibition I visited a few weeks ago. Located in the old sorting office in London, This huge abandoned spaces has been overrun by the work of Mr brainwash (or Banksy but I will let you have that argument yourself). The space could only be described as an urban playground full of bright and bold work made to the scale of a giant!.
There was everything that really engaged with a wide audience form the 30 ft posters on the exterior of the building, walls full of painting, digital work and recreational screen prints, and a floor full of sculptures and installation like nothing I have seen before. A truly magical exhibition that restored love and life back into an empty space. The exhibition was free! you was allowed to take photos, allowed to touch the work and even received some free goodies upon your exit! (a nice playful identity on exit through the gift shop)
The exhibition was only meant to be on during the summer months but by public demand the exhibition was going on (nobody was sure of until when either) Below is a nice selection of photos that guides you around the space. It was refreshing to not feel intimidated by the gallery experience some places offer with tight security and a mapped path that you must remain on. Instead Mr brainwash gave us a working space that showed mess and life, minimal security just to see we was having fun, and Reggae playing throughout the space.
