There’s been a ton of hype surrounding this secondary market show that features a few Banksy works, one London paper leading with the headline “Artist Banksy set to reveal Self Portrait”, lazy journalism combined with sales promotion hype. We understand there’ll be a few secondary market prints for sale and this canvas. If you were planning to head down there to spend your hard earned, or was hoping to see a nice self portrait.. or if you’re from further afield, we have it on good authority that this is the work.

After 100 liters of paint, countless hours of work, cold pizza and warm beer. The show is gone ! But, we’ll always know it’s right there, just under the surface.
A thousand thanks to GT, Kristel, Pernille, Tore, Jon & Einar for the massive effort getting this up as well as down.
Now how to get this down ?

Started rigging down the indoor show this week, feels like such a crazy thing to do but we had only hired the gallery for a month. I love the transient nature of street art, but this so instant and final. Feels very wrong. Other years the venues have organised the paint out but this year we got stuck with it. Man it sucks, not only is it madly difficult, the Skewville and Supine in particular, but it’s also a little heartbreaking. I just painted out some of the best work I’ve seen in all our years running Nuart. Next year I’m hiring someone instead.
Just like to say a big thanks to everyone who made it to the show. Particularly our overseas guests ! Best one yet by far !

An interesting little commission from Sandnes council came our way recently, could we provide art for a newly built extension to an high school for kids aged 13-16. The school is in a small village outside Sandnes with a population of just 5000. What better place to start an Urban Art collection we thought.
Schools and councils would normally buy work from local galleries with little or no relevance to education or what the kids are into. We spent a few months buying bits and pieces including a nice little Banksy print and made the Dolk a centre piece of this Salon Style hang. Next we flew in a couple of mates, Nick Walker and Leon Dotmaster and created these stunning murals. Fun was had by all. One of the most fulfilling projects we’ve been involved with. It even made the national news !

Since our Stencil Show artists are a rare breed, we decided to throw something fun at them in place of a traditional interview. We let the artists tell their story through a mad lib, passing the story amongst themselves for a complete mix up. Read on to see how Tes One, David Soukup, Casey Gray, [...]

Hugh Leeman was up to no good on his trip to NYC this month. One morning he returned to the meat packing district, where he had thrown up pieces the night before, to find D*Face installing a mural on the same wall. He also hit up several locations on Wooster Street, pictured below.
