This weekend SAVANT opened to reveal all– right down to genitals, flesh, and bodily fluids.  This exhibition was curated by artist Joe Becker and includes some of the best art we have ever seen.

The gallery is open weekly, Thursday-Sunday from 12 noon-6pm, and by appointment.  *Please note that some content may not be suitable for children who are old enough [...]

THIS SATURDAY Malarky will be in the gallery for 2 hours to show you the wondrous ways of GOCCO printing.  Malarky will be creating a New Edition of prints that will be released on Saturday and sold for a magical £10 to those attending the demonstration.  Come along between 2.00 and 4.00 pm to see how dreams are made, and to catch the end of their stunning show, SUMMER BREEZE which ends on Sunday 3rd July.

Warm weather, sunshine and shades, the SUMMER BREEZE is finally blowing in!  Malarky & Billy have been very busy painting the town in summery shades of bright fluorescents and cool pastels, delivering redecorated work trucks and shop shutters in what seems like the blink of an eye.  One night you walk past the usual bleakness of blue-collar London, and the next morning you wake up to a street full of new paintings.  For Realz. Now Malarky & Billy are preparing [...]

Some of you may already know of Miss Aida Wild. Master screen printer to many a ‘street artist’, Aida has recently wowed us again with her renditions of Sweet Toof’s and Glenn Anderson’s TOTEM designs for Cirque du Soleil’s SAFEWALLS project.  Starting from the original artworks (paintings on paper), Aida transformed each one into a 6 and 8 colour (respectively) hand-pulled screen print.  These are now available as a limited edition of 50 each, signed by the artists and blind-stamped.  [...]

Thanks to all who came down to our opening night last week… here’s a little video recap! What an amazing night, thanks to Cirque du Soleil, DJ Head of a Wolf and our lovely projectionists..

Here are the final 2 films revealing the SAFEWALLS London artists and their designs.  As the first-ever stop on a new world-tour, this exhibition opens Tomorrow Night here at High Roller Society!

                In this first video, in a series of three, Jon Burgerman, Sweet Toof and Glenn Anderson introduce themselves, talk about their art, about street art and a bit about breakdance! The next video will be unveiled next week and will present the artists’ vision of London.

        To kick off the new year, High Roller Society teams up with Cirque du Soleil to launch a brand-new art project called SAFEWALLS.  On the first leg of a worldwide tour SAFEWALLS will stop over in London for 3 days ONLY, featuring original works and limited edition prints by British artists Sweet Toof, Jon Burgerman and Glenn Anderson. The Safewalls project celebrates Cirque du Soleil’s roots—the street—as well as the creative freedom and raw energy associated [...]

Now is your chance to catch the tail-end of META SNOUT, an exhibition of works by Russell Maurice and Daniel Sparkes (Mudwig).  Interestingly, a fellow blogger based in Paris sent over these extensive interviews with each artist: read the Mudwig interview here, and the Russell Maurice interview here. Also, for those of you headed to London’s interior, be sure to catch more of Russell’s work at the ICA’s New Contemporaries exhibition, on now. Here are some META SNOUT highlights, on [...]

URBANKIND is a sort of physical mash-up of the art that you see on the streets, and the sleek retro furniture you see for sale in the shops that proudly adorn graffitied shutters.  Admittedly, putting a ‘street’ artist in front of a tabletop instead of an exterior wall does turn the tables a bit, but I think it is certainly a direction to be explored by any artist or enthusiast who embraces the obvious market that has been growing over [...]
