Today the Ink_d gallery plays host to "Crimes and Punishments" by two urban artists, Eine and Zeus. "Both are prolific street artists and innovators in typography and both have pushed the boundaries in a way that has redefined how we see graffiti as an art form."
The prolific mural painters have made a change from their traditional spray cans for the exhibition. The show, based around representations of the alphabet, sees the artists put down their spray cans in a move to typography and illustration in an experimental display more than traditional illustrations.
"The final outcomes were occasionally compositionally awkward, although this did add to their authenticity and was justified since the process was based on the children’s game consequences, with the results birthing from accident."
A lovely premise and well worth a look (and free, horray).
Upstairs there's a Christ shop for 'stockings and eyes' - and a book and artzine section that requires a good browse from a comfy place.
Crime and Punishments runs today from 10am-6pm until the 2\4th December at the Ink_d gallery. Directions to Ink_d on North Road: here.
