This Spring Bristol’s oldest and grandest gallery, the Royal West Of England Academy is throwing open all 5 of it’s galleries to host a major show by 50 of the city’s best known and most successful graffiti and street artists. This is the first major show of its kind in the city since the Arnolfini’s groundbreaking 1985 show, Graffiti Art and is a full-blown celebration of the city’s rich and diverse contemporary scene.

Bristol has nurtured many of the UK’s most successful graffiti and street artists, including 3D, Inkie, Banksy, Nick Walker, Sickboy, Cyclops and TCF Crew, to name but a few. The city continues to be a breeding ground for a wealth of exceptional creative talent and continues to have one of the UK’s most diverse and thriving scenes.

Crimes Of Passion takes the love of (and heartfelt dedication to) the art form as its starting point, but is far from a typical gallery retrospective, all the artists will be showing completely new work, as well as installation pieces and working both directly onto (and into) the walls of the gallery.

Crimes of Passion will also include a city-wide programme of large-scale painting, a photographic exhibition, a film season at local arts cinema The Cube (www.cubecinema.com) and a series of workshops and talks.

Check this, I’m putting the first 2 graffiti photos from Amsterdam because they’re terrible, but I couldn’t help but take a photo. These were on the doors and window shutters of a back street brothel.

Wowzers, Amsterdam prostitute graffiti.

That’s more like it, proper Amsterdam graffiti. Check out the colours!

Graffiti photo taken from a train going to Basel, Switzerland, just to give an idea of the number of murals – it was almost constant like this for an 8 hour train ride. So much graffiti and crappy camera means I missed a lot. But that will change next week.

“Mirrors are more than just something to see yourself in.
As a child I always thought they were actually windows into another world, one that was so familiar yet completely opposite.

The Reflect On project speaks via these windows. They are visual messages to us from our other selves and a reflection of the world we inhabit.

The photos of these paintings are simply snapshots of paintings that are constantly moving and changing.

When you look into a mirror you are the only subject that it speaks to and about in that moment. When you move on it is no longer yours.

In the public space these mirrors are everyone’s and they are about everyone.
This project has been ongoing since 2006 and the mirrors have shown their faces (and yours) in Bucharest, Istanbul, Barcelona, NYC, and Mexico City.”
