Comments (1) Another book for April, from the german duo Herakut.
(cover of the book A perfect merge)
The book “a perfect merge” covers over 200 pages their careers, mixing the graffiti style of one of the artists, and the more traditional painting of the other one, with sketches, drawings, canvas and exhibitions pictures.
For those who don’t know Herakut, some pictures of their last exhibition in London last November:
Update: For the release of the book, an exhibition will take place from the 28 May at the Black Rat Press gallery. On this occasion there will be a sale of Nick Walker’s new screenprint.
In one month, on the 30th of April, Nick Walker is releasing a book (Drago editions).
This books looks back on the career of this famous street artist, with the obligation of printing only three colours: white, black and pink.

In this book called “A sequence of Events”, we will discover or rediscover the major works of the artist, but also new ones, created especially for the occasion.
The parisian artist Space Invader releases next March a new book, “World Invasion”, to celebrate 10 years of alien invasion in the streets of the whole world.
(World Invasion Cover)
This 240 pages book contains pictures, plans, sketches, as well as many anecdotes. I personally can’t wait for this book!
For the 25th birthday of ELMS Lesters Painting Room, the gallery launches a book about 17 of the exhibitions which took place there over 12 years.
(ELMS Lesters 25th Anniversary Book)
The gallery moreover organizes an exhibition to celebrate this launch, from the 5th to the 20th of December. A lot of artists are present: Adam Neate, Anthony Lister, Andrew McAttee, Boris Tellegen (Delta), Futura, James Marshall (Dalek), José Parlá, Mark Dean Veca, Phil Frost, Ron English, Snug, Space Invader, Stash and WK Interact.
The exhibition takes place over two floors and shows some beautiful pieces.
Adam Neate created a buzz by placing 1000 pieces of art estimated 1000£ each everywhere in London (which is a nice Xmas gift of over 1 million pounds!!!), he there shows montages made of cardboard, with a nice 3D effect.
There are also works by the French artist Space Invader (one made entirely of Rubix Cubes), assemblages of torn paper made by Delta (who has another exhibition in Brussels, called “Dancing on the moon with tears in my eyes”, from the 11th of December to the 10th of January in the gallery A.L.I.C.E.), and canvas from Phil Frost (who among other things created CD sleeves for DJ Shadow and for the punk band Sick Of It All).
The exhibition at ELMS Lesters painting room is very pleasant. The artists have their very own universe, and their own technique.
If you are interested, the exhibition takes place at:
ELMS Lesters Painting Room
1-3-5 Flitcroft St
