There has been a lot of talk about the recent Green Day Album turned musical, and they band is now ready to shift gears yet again, as it organizes an art exhibition in London. The show, on view Oct. 23 at the Stolen Space Gallery, will concentrate around art inspired from the band's new Album, 21st Century Break Down. It will feature 21 original works, all commissioned by Green Day themselves.
The show will be curated by Logan Hicks, a stencil artist out of NY that has recently been feature by yours truly for his work with Nuart. In an interview posted on Green Day's website, Hicks said: "I chose artists who I felt had a similar visual approach to art as Green Day does to its music. ... Although most of the artists represented are well-established in their careers, they embrace the same emotional rawness with their art, which speaks from the heart and swings with the fist."The show will feature such artists as Will Barras, Ron English, The London Police, and stencil artist C215.
When I first heard about the exhibition, I was a little skeptical, but considering the curator and the contributors I am actually finding myself quite intrigued. All I can say is that I might need to move back to jolly old England.
