Pic+Mix
Is a new series of art exhibitions curated by Intercity for 55dsl. Each show will see a renowned artist selecting and working with a collaborator of their choice; this could be a like-minded contemporary, a fresh new talent, or an artist from a completely different discipline -
Photography, sculpture, moving image, furniture design, music and more – all are up for grabs. The collaborative nature of this series of shows will offer diverse ways of working, and the results will be a creative mix of both talents and techniques.
The second show in this series takes place on the 03.12.09, working with the Monorex Agency, where experimental graffiti artist Chu has chosen to work with fellow street artist & illustrator Disco Teck. Using the tools of their trade, aerosol vs. marker pen to give a 360 degree installation that will seriously turn your head
Chu
Exploring (literally) new perspectives and embracing computer-aided technologies, Chu’s work has continued to push back the boundaries of graffiti since he first began experimenting with aerosol paint & home computers in the late 1980’s describing his creations as gently reminding us of the everyday conflict between digital and analogue devices. During his 30 years of experience He has successfully gained a reputation working with some of the most culturally influential artists of our time. Projects with Banksy and Jamie Hewlett, collaborating at the Swiss Embassy in London and for the groundbreaking opera ‘Monkey Journey to the west.’ Being a few of the highlights he is humbly proud to mention. An ardent defender in the use of aerosol paint since 1988, starting out in the midlands Walsall and now living in London pursuing a studio career Chu has contributed cutting edge creations on public works, various galleries and group shows around the UK.
Recently he single-handedly attempted to set a world record by painting a 4-storey mural on his own, creating a wall that is now a main focal point in his hometown of Walsall. For two years running he has been invited by Walsall Council to design an illuminated display for the outdoor, annual illuminations, creating an amazing sound-to-light experience also performing as a v-jay for Birmingham funk band, Munchbreak. His professional skills and creativity is vast.
DiscoTeck
International artist, ‘Disco Teck’ blurs the fine lines between graffiti, illustration and Graphic design. He has produced work in all corners of the world with Monorex, and exhibited in New York Barcelona and London, with plans for his second solo show in 2010.As comfortable working digitally as with pen or aerosol, he has collaborated with brands like Addict clothing, Reebok, and Edding Pens.
