Chrome & Black- London’s Finest Colourmen

2009.04.26

A new art supplies store has recently opened and is rapidly becoming very well established in East London’s Bethnal Green Road, near the top of Brick Lane, the heart of Graff-land! Its opposite the 90 meter graffiti wall. With the Rarekind gallery downstairs exhibiting work by original first generation graffiti artists it really is worth a trip

They also carry the new mtn94 range, a staggering array of markers from minis through to ultrawides and mops, unbuffable inks in the full spectrum of colours, caps of all descriptions from needle to superfat, magazines, books and accessories and claim to be the cheapest in London.

I was invited in to paint a small piece of this monster wall by Aks, graffiti artist and the events

co-ordinator. Situated between Shoreditch high street and Brick Lane and opposite the new Chrome and Black shop with the Rarekind Gallery downstairs, this is London’s graffiti central. In the next street is Sclater Street Hall of Fame.

This is now East London’s most visible and longest graffiti wall and is at the heart of the most graffitied area in the country. The wall is a youth project organised by Richmix for young people to learn graffiti with experts and professionals such as the legendary Prime, a face I Iast saw at the Covent Garden ‘writers bench’ in around ‘89.
