Evolving Styles this Friday



The huge success of the first two auctions has already set the tone for this summer’s most original night out. However, this Friday’s event is the one that graff-heads, aficionados, artists and art collectors have really been waiting for. Making an exclusive UK appearance will be the legendary Lady Pink - the most famous female graffiti artist in the world. Lady Pink (who you may remember from her starring role in the seminal hip hop movie, Wild Style) will be creating six original canvases live on Friday night, which will then be auctioned off for charity. As if this wasn’t enough, we also have acclaimed artist, Nick Walker who, along with Banksy, is one of the originators of the infamous Bristol stencil scene. This is a rare opportunity for anyone to invest in a piece of street art history*and highly valuable works of art*with all proceeds going to charity.

Naturally an event of this magnitude requires music to match, so in the interests of getting the party truly rocking, we have enlisted the help of the mighty Punks Jump Up to provide the evening’s soundtrack. At 8p.m. the auction begins where anyone can bid on their preferred canvas. At 9p.m., the highest bidders will get to take home their one-off pieces of art with them.
