Blondes have more fun

Reka — Fri, 24 May 2013 23:47:01 +0000

In Denmark it’s pretty accurate. It took me far too long to paint this wall. Not because of the size or the challenging dimensions of the building, but the typical Aalborg weather. A lot like Melbourne actually- 4 seasons in 1 day. To put it short it was raining every day.
This mural was part of my exhibition at Galerie Wolfsen which was a big success. I will be doing a recap of the exhibition shortly… when i have time. (which seems never at the moment)
Thanks to all the crazy Danes I met…and I thought us Aussies can drink. wow.

Aalborg, Denmark

Reka — Sat, 18 May 2013 15:56:01 +0000

First day I managed to paint a quick wall at one of the hall of fame spots next to about 8 Swet pieces in a row.
Aalborg doesn’t have much murals so the locals were very curious of what was happening to their city.

Abandoned and forgotten

Reka — Tue, 14 May 2013 20:51:22 +0000

before leaving to Denmark I managed to to fit in a another wall in Dulwich, South London. This abandoned house apparently is meant to be knocked down in a year. A few other artists also joined me including Roa, Shok-1, Run to name a few. I managed to climb on the roof for this nice spot. Maybe no one will ever see it. maybe not…

Baroque The Streets: Dulwich Art Festival

Reka — Fri, 03 May 2013 13:00:45 +0000

I was asked to take part in the Dulwich art festival in London this week.
Each artist was to base their wall of a painting from the oldest Art museum in UK - The Dulwich Picture Gallery.
Other artists taking part include Conor Harrington, Roa, Run, Shok1, Remi Rough, Phlem to name a few. I chose a piece called “The rape of Europe” An ancient Greek Mythology. More info on the festival check the website.

I have a few pieces in a big group charity exhibition coming up in April at Blackbook Gallery in Denver called Knock It Out. Im honoured to be part of such a great line-up of Artists.

“Black Book Gallery is using art as a platform to support Love Hope Strength Foundation’s (LHSF) mission of saving the lives of people with cancer. Cancer took the life of Co-owner Thomas Horne’s twin brother, Tim, as well as millions of others world-wide each year. The show titled, “Knock it Out” is Tom’s tribute to all the families,patients, and victims of this devastating disease. (www.knockitout.org). Everyone, in every corner of the world, knows someone affected by cancer, and on the evening of Friday, April 5th, 2013, Black Book Gallery invites us all to come together to celebrate the lives of our loved ones.”
