22/04/10 - Eden's Garden

ABSOLUT PRESENTS :

Brick Lanes EASTGALLERY gallery brings together two individuals from the new breed of multi-tasking artist/ clothing entrepreneurs with a collaborative exhibition titled ‘Eden’s Garden’. Interpreting the classic biblical reference in their own unique styles, the two artists will be presenting a collection of paintings, photography and drawings that highlight their very differing techniques and approaches to the subject.

From amongst the shadows, you will find the monochromatic dark sexual themes of Amar Stewart’s paintbrush and spray techniques while on the other hand you will be hit in the face with bold, tongue-in-cheek humour spraypainted in pop colours by Mister Batlow. The centre piece of the show will be a mural and installation combining the artists two styles with a very special guest: a pet snake.

The show will also host a temporary pop up shop, with a select collection from each of the artists clothing lines; Amar Stewarts ‘Aum Wear’ and Mister Batlows ‘The Ugly Kids Club’. To see previews of the work being exhibited, behind the scenes action and for more

About The Artists


AMAR STWEART

www.reignart.blogspot.com

Amar Stewart has a very distinctive style. Very rarely does he use colour nor does he use clean lines. His work is heavily influenced by Horror, Death Metal and Women. He has worked with various brands such as Nike, Reebok, Upper Playground and has had a number of commissioned works. If you can’t find him painting in his home with stacks of photo’s and clippings of women (for reference of course) then he will be walking through China Town looking for inspiration. He spends most of his time there!

MISTER BATLOW

www.batlowsapples.com & www.misterbatlow.com

Mister Batlow has established him self as an award winning customiser, an artist for hire and a director of his own label; The Ugly Kids Club. Batlow produces work in his signature colourfully audacious manner. His work is bold, eye catching and filled with his own brand of wit and humour.

Batlows styles have been applied to fashion prints, clothing, designer handbags, walls and vehicle graphics and freelanced to the likes of Levis, Nike, Don’t Panic, Year Zero and Sony with a list of celebrity clientele include Cheryl Cole, Mariah Carey and Vanilla Ice... yep, Vanilla Ice!
