Hats off to old school graffiti writer Petro for putting on a smashing opening night. His exhibition is just off Brick Lane at The Old Rag Factory on Heneage Street.
Petro is showing lots of affordable paintings and prints based on the letter-form alongside more quirky and conceptual stuff.
It makes a refreshing change to see artists who are actually passionate and animated by showing their work, that is what it is all about in my book anyway and gave the evening a brilliant atmosphere.
To rock graffiti letters on panels and make it work is hard but Petro pulls it off with awesome style, check the pictures….
Petro’s show is only on this weekend 25th and 26th July 12-7 pm so I would make every effort to get down there if you can possibly manage it. There is a map further down the page, nearest tube Aldgate East,Whitechapel or Liverpool Street.
