Street art giant Banksy has managed to put the spotlight on street art, bringing it to the forefront of popular culture through his controversial stencil work. From the streets of Bristol to the West Bank Barrier between Israel and Gaza, Banksy’s work has both provoked outrage as well breed abiding adoration. Banksy started rousing attention when his trademark guerilla stencil works cropped up all over East London. His notorious imagery often sends out an anti-war, anti-capitalist or anti-establishment message that is always accompanied by a clever wit.

Recently there has been much controversy stirring in the media around the identity of this street art enigma. Up until now Banksy had managed to maintain his anonymity; however his mounting fame and popularity has caused much mystery and intrigue and the sheer infatuation with finding the man behind the spray can is a clear indication of the level of fame and success Banksy has elevated to.

New York based art collective Faile will also be featured in this unmissable show. Faile formed in 1999 and have since become pioneers of street art. Their name emerged from a common philosophy of learning, growing and creating from failure – A constant theme in the undercurrent of all their work. Faile juxtaposes a variation of visual influences mostly taken from popular culture; from comic books to the yellow pages in order to address ideas such as dualism – love/hate, peace/war, and violence/beauty. There is a strong sense of collaboration in their work, something that is very important to Faile; not only in the act of working together but also in bringing a mixture of different styles and influences to single pieces. The group has often described themselves as “DJs synthesizing images to create visually visceral experiences.”

Faile started out wheat pasting flyposters to city walls where they still find much of their inspiration and later moved on to stencil work. They have since branched into sculpture and bookmaking but still remain based predominantly in screen-printing and stencil.

Frequent visitors to the streets of London, Faile’s success has afforded them an exhibition at the Tate Modern and they have sold out in shows all around the world.

ART IN MIND WITH Y-NOT

Celine Marchbank - Sung Eun Park - Rifat Kocak - Nathan Khan - - Fabio Usvardi
Paige Sullivan - David Henckel - Stephen Buckeridge

The Brick Lane gallery is proud to present the new, up and coming artist Y-NOT. The show will feature Y-NOTs first batch of works titled SHUTTERS. 
Y-NOT BRICK LANE GALLERYIn East London Street artists such as Sick Boy, Sweet Tooth and Eines paint directly onto shop shutters, flooding the area with unique, edgy and tongue-in-cheek works that has become a definitive characteristic of the area. These pictures are spread via the web and soon draw large crowds to come and see the work before they get tagged over or destroyed. Many of these artists have transformed Brick Lane into the centre of the street art scene in London.
Y-NOT comments on this trend by merging personal influences from his fashion background with the concept of “The Shutter”, using the new Rave Shutter Sunglasses that is strewn across this area. This body of work is inspired by the forever changing characteristics of Brick Lane, which is famous for its vintage fashion boutiques, underground art scene and galleries, Bangladeshi cafes, music bars and dynamic social centres, creating a colourful cocktail of art and culture. The dynamic and ever-changing environment has always attracted creative people and street artists.

Y-NOT BRICK LANE GALLERY
Y-NOTs stencils and free hand work are as colourful as Brick Lane, presenting striking day glow colours coming from rave culture and a mixture of modish shapes and lines. The Lane is famous for its Sunday market which is where he finds most of his materials such as mirrors, mannequins, disposed frames and background patterns.
Y-NOT has been living and working in The Brick Lane are for over 10 years and has thus grown and developed in close relation to the area, whose influences are evident in his art. Y-NOT has witnessed the birth of street art, with Banksy’s rise to fame and Brick Lanes evolution into the centre of London’s street art scene.
Before he made art, Y-NOT worked as a high profile fashion photographer shooting for Vogue and other magazines, he has now traded his camera for couple of spray cans and is going out into the street. He has also been working in the arts industry in various galleries for the past 5 years and has been immersed in art culture, supporting and working alongside artists such as Bob and Roberta Smith (TATE).
Y-NOTs art is strongly intertwined with the forever mutating vibe of East London, giving it a limitless capacity to evolve and progress.
