Matt Small 'Seen & Heard' Solo Exhibition
the artist Matt Small.
‘Seen and Heard’ constitutes the first series of paintings to arise from Small’s involvement with the charity organisation Single Homeless Project (S.H.P). Significantly, ‘Seen and Heard’ represents a conceptual leap for the artist through his unprecedented interaction with his subjects. The ‘Seen & Heard’ project is an ongoing creative initiative established by Matt Small to counteract the continuing negative portrayals and perceptions of young people. Elaborating on his existing oeuvre, this exhibition thoroughly establishes Small as an active agent of social change as opposed to mere reactive commentator.
The painted portraits and sculptures that constitute this body of work depict those who have participated in the ‘Seen and Heard’ project to date. Alongside Small’s distinctive kaleidoscopic portraits there will also feature artwork, photographs, and film footage documenting the viewpoints of the individuals around whom this exhibition centres. In providing a platform for these young people to express themselves creatively and share their experiences of the world, it’s possible to combat disenfranchisement and instead create a sense of social inclusion and relevance for all those involved.
Single Homeless Project (S.H.P) is an independent charity organisation whose mission is to reduce poverty, social exclusion and homelessness across London. Established in 1977, S.H.P now works with 5,000 people a year across 17 London boroughs, providing a wide range of accommodation and community based support services for their clients.
Private view: Friday 10 August, 6pm–9pm

Each piece takes inspiration from the Olympics; looking at patriotism, victory as well as the darker side of the Olympics such as drug taking, surveillance and displacement.

Nike Goddess of Victory by K-Guy
"A while back I was asked to paint a mural in the Olympic Village, with the high security there was no way of popping something up without permission so I went for it.
The location is a place called The Globe which is in the heart of the athletes village and serves as an athletes chill area, a place where the athletes can go and meet up, with Pool tables, a cinema, a download and music room, a stage and a bar area."
Below is a 3 minute time-lapse film of his 4 days of painting the huge 3 metre x 12 metre wall from blank canvas to the finished painting of 'NIKE, THE GODDESS OF VICTORY' as represented on the gold/silver and bronze medals.

Josh Cole - Physical Graffiti Exhibition
‘Physical Graffiti’ exhibits a body of work which captures such dynamism within its static media that it serves to re-invent not only our conception of these much overlooked communities, but our reaction to photography as a whole. Using a split second of suspension as the recurrent visual motif, ‘physical graffiti’ marries the arresting nature of Cole’s advertorial work with his deeply personal reaction to the gangs and crews encountered throughout his journey.
Capturing the thrilling beauty of his wide-raging subjects, as well as the grit and realism associated with street culture, Cole documents the imperative part dance, movement and self expression plays within these ghettoised societies. These lifting portraits of humanity from across the world play upon themes of resurrection, resistance and un-restrained human exuberance which undeniably transfer from the subject to the viewer.
The exhibition opens on 25 July and closes on August 5, opening times are 11-6pm Mon-Sat.

Lomo Wall And The Museum Of London
The Museum of London has collaborated with Lomography – the vibrant community dedicated to analogue photography – to create an eye-catching LomoWall display.
Almost 30,000 photographs make up this 65 metre Olympic themed LomoWall, which spans the Museum’s entrance hall and rotunda, making it the longest running LomoWall in the UK to date.
More than 15,000 people from 32 countries submitted analogue pictures responding to the brief “inspiring and achieving in London’s Olympic year”. The photographs include images of Paralympic athletes in training for the London 2012 Games.
LomoWall is the culmination of a series of analogue photography workshops open to amateur, analogue photographers of all abilities. A selection of photographs from the workshops, along with other submissions, form a mosaic so the installation can be enjoyed up-close, or viewed from afar as a fascinating abstract artwork in its own right. The display is the first LomoWall in the UK since 2007.
The LomoWall is at the Museum of London until January 2013, and is free to visit, so come and check it out!

Candice Tripp At Black Rat Projects
Tripp’s fascination with horror infuses all her works and yet in their fairytale-like portrayal these works play upon suggested ideas of inherent or hidden dangers within the landscape. Utilising the dichotomy between her childish subjects and the distinctly adult themes which they portray, Tripp provocatively questions the role which both ‘adult’ and ‘child’ play within those darker areas of the social psyche; she explains:
"While I was painting, I kept thinking about a small town full of young, isolated inhabitants and how every place, to a degree, has “a way” of doing things, a way which is rarely interrupted until an outsider witnesses and draws attention to it
I found myself thinking a lot about an interruption of consciousness - in the sense of it occurring in a group. I tend to paint a fraction of a story- often either prelude or aftermath – and so I ended up focusing on fictitious (often awkward social) scenarios occurring in a town that is unaware of its single-minded lapse in judgement; Cult-like. The idea being that children who don’t outgrow it, will fall victim to it. "
At once enchanting and disorientating, fantastical and freakish, Petit Mal takes the viewer into a child’s world full of adult intent. Running from July 27 to August 18 at Black Rat Gallery Shoreditch, come and witness Tripp’s bewitched/ brainwashed little children as they hover between the cradle and the grave.
Show opens to the public from July 26 to August 18.
Private view July 26 from 6-9. Please email info@blackrat.com to RSVP

Logan Hicks London show 'Structural Integrity' at The Outsiders
Recognised throughout the art world as a pioneer in stencil art, Logan creates photorealistic paintings of urban landscapes in meticulous detail from layers upon layers of painstakingly cut stencils. Logan's focus on city architecture comes from the idea that hidden between city walls and alleyways are millions of stories and secrets from all the people who have lived and walked these areas before: "I see all these buildings and I wonder what stories they have to tell...my work reflects on the events that have come before me".
Structural Integrity will showcase a series of cityscape paintings as well as photographs taken from Logan's travels over the past 5 years, documenting the underworld of cities around America and Europe.
Dates: Friday 20th of July 2012 to Saturday 25th of August 2012

Tim Head ‘The Daily Standard’ Solo Exhibition
A multi media artist and creative instigator, Tim was featured recently in the Vice Creative 30, is a member of Courvoisier Future 500, and has been commissioned by cultural institutions and brands including Tate modern, Nissan, Lee Jeans, Upset The Rhythm and Levis. In 2010 he curated and co-founder the legendary pop up Chapter One gallery in Soho, under his moniker The Dilly has been releasing art zines and curating shows across the World for close to 10 years and at the start of 2000, was a founder member of the street art group with D*Face and helped promote and curate early London shows of now globally recognised artists such as Lister and JR.
All the artwork in 'The Daily Standard' was produced over a period of two months where the artist created work from and inspired by newspapers. Each day brought unexpected sources of inspirations in both themes and imagery, helping Tim focus his work on questions wider than just imagery, such as the importance of the news in this internet age, the amount of negativity and truth in the papers, and how to create an optimistic, positive future from a world seemingly gone mad, referencing early Peter Blake, The Hackney Gazette, punk flyers, Robert Crumb and political statements.
'The Daily Standard' promises a riotous mix of collage, drawings, prints and paintings, guaranteed to thrill, excite and start discourse about the wider world we live in. The show is based around the news, but will undoubtedly create its own headlines.

'IN IT TO WIN IT' by Andrew MacGregor
‘Paper is my material of choice nowadays, and I have come to really appreciate its capacity to take any given form. It’s an incredibly flexible material that in recent years has taken centre stage in modern visual communication, and it’s a privilege to be a part of that.’ — Andrew Macgregor.
For this particular project Macgregor has drawn influence from artists such as Peter Blake who is most famously known for the sleeve he created for the Beatles album, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Dabbling in pop art, his creations were often vivid and eccentric. As well as Blake, Macgregor has looked to Herbert Bayer’s art, which spanned many forms and he was considered to be the last living member of the Bauhaus art movement.

SKULLPHONE – “London, XX12"
Skullphone’s Digital Media paintings are calculated fabrications for indoor viewing, a departure from the large-scale outdoor work for which he first became known. The paintings document our modern world – one which is increasingly defined by connection and communication via brief technological encounters. Here, advertising, government, private enterprise signage, real- and digital-scapes are represented. This work employs a deliberate grid system of red, blue, and green paint applied to reflective aluminum panels one dot at a time, creating pointillistic images that dislocate when approached.
Los Angeles-based Skullphone first gained notoriety on city streets in 1999 for his iconic image of a black-and-white skull holding a cell phone, an image which pointedly welded humanity to technology. He sparked controversy and conversation when his artwork appeared on the first digital billboards found throughout Los Angeles in 2008. Positioning his artwork as both megaphone and white noise, he raised the issue and left local and online audiences to their own devices in appraising issues of connectivity, personal privacy, advertising, street art, urban blight and life in Los Angeles.
