Exploring all of the elements of hip-hop culture, art, fashion, dance and music, Kicks ‘n’ Canvas hits London this April.
At the centrepiece of the exhibition will be 21 pairs of customised trainers, which have received the individual touch from artists of widely varying backgrounds.
Sculptors and contemporary artists will combine with street artists and writers to create some of the most distinctive and unique shoes you are likely to see.
Each of the artists will also produce a 50cm x 50cm original piece to compliment their trainer customisation and Kicks ‘n’ Canvas will also showcase the skills of some of the finest DJ’s, MC’s and B-Boys around.
In addition to this, there will be live painting from top international artists each Saturday in the exhibition space.
The following artists will be taking part in the event: Goldie (UK) / Anthony Lister (AUS) / Insa (UK) / Dan Baldwin (UK) / Inkie (UK) / Jon Burgerman (UK) / ATG (UK) / Copyright (UK) / Mr Jago (UK) / Ben Frost (AUS) / Monorex (UK) / Meggs (AUS) / Toaster (UK) / Zoot (UK) / Dickchicken (USA) / Gemma Compton (UK) / Trans1 (UK) / Benedict Radcliffe (UK) / NES (UK) / Numskull (AUS) / Jon Lawrence (UK)
The dedicated website www.kicksncanvas.co.uk is now live and will be regularly updated with info about the event, along with artist biographies, an events calendar and a page to RSVP to attend the preview night.
