Art collective Prefab 77 take contemporary street art to new heights
- literally. Their urban artworks to-date include awe-inspiring paste-ups in Newcastle & Brighton, each spanning the size of a three-storey building. Their work relies on heavy texture, using collage techniques, thick application of gloss, & bounteous coatings of spray-paint, to create bold, busy & beautiful prints. ‘ Born in the Eye of Fortune
- GB’ depicts the photorealist profile of a woman set against a Franz Kline-esque monochrome background: think, lashings of black & white pigment, interspersed with Great British blues & reds, fuelled by Abstract Expressionist force. The female muse looks coyly towards her viewer from under an collaged, Napoleonic helmet, bedecked in military uniform, for a surreal-meets-urban, street-to-canvas aesthetic.
