Leeks and Fin DAC on Film

Wednesday, April 27th, 2011

Wet paint productions Findac & Leeks from snowstorm-media on Vimeo.

For your viewing pleasure, this short is part of a longer film that was beamed onto the side of a building as part of Wet Paint Productions’ White Night centre piece ‘inCANdescent‘ in Brighton last October. As we have posted before, the production which celebrates the end of BST and embraces winter, was put on in conjunction with artrepublic, ink_d and our good friends at Snowstorm Media. It was Snowstorm who filmed the original footage at Wet Paint’s event The Beautiful and The Canned (this one from 2009), edited and then projected the film at the White Night festival. The film shows Fin DAC and Leeks going to work in Brighton. Thanks to Snowstorm for the use of the footage and we’ll post more shorts in coming weeks. Stay tuned for news on The Beautiful and The Canned!

Snub 23 Beats The Buff

Friday, August 13th, 2010

 

This is the latest amazing piece by Snub23 that dominates Trafalgar Lane, Brighton, which already has Flickr alight with praise and fave stars. Wet Paint Productions were asked to organise an artist to paint this wall after a legal piece put up by Leeks during The Beautiful and the Canned weekend was mistakenly buffed by the council. The owner of the property wasn’t too happy when he found out and got onto Brighton & Hove City Council to complain. So after a call requesting our help we thought who better to ask than the Snub Meister himself. We are not alone in loving this new work – which is all freehand – and predict you will see more like this in the future.

TB&TC Got Papped

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

The Beautiful and The Canned 2010 made the front cover of Brighton’s leading free magazine You Got Papped and also features on page 11. The June issue has been on the streets for only a matter of days and it is already hard to find so we thought we’d share this with you. It is packed with news from Brighton events like Great Escape and Fringe, as well as loads of art stuff. We’d like to thank editor Ben Crawford for the exposure and you can register to download images and find back issues HERE.

One to Watch

Sunday, April 4th, 2010

During The Beautiful and The Canned weekend, we will be taking over part of My Hotel in the centre of Brighton and converting it into a pop-up gallery space to exclusively sell the artists’ work. Not every artist we’re showcasing are active on the street (or will be painting live) but all are influenced  by them in some way and we’ll bring you news of them and their work over the next month. One of these is JENKINS. If you haven’t come across him yet then make a mental note to as he is a name to look out for. JENKINS works using paint and pencils through to screen print and collage, layering colour, mark making and printing techniques to create bespoke, limited edition artworks. His life-long obsession to draw, be it on the back of envelopes or scraps of paper, has grown over the years into a mass of little black books filled with sketches, the ‘pictures from my pocket’ that capture his ideas and future works. JENKINS is involved in a wide variety of commissions for clients worldwide and is a member of the international WAFA (We Are F**king Awesome) Collective. This piece is entitled All the Madmen and is part of his Split in Two series. Oh, and he’s a bloody nice bloke too!
