SICKBOY - Part of The British Street Art Leaders

A leading artist to emerge from Bristol’s graffiti scene, Sickboy’s humorous work has cemented his place in the upper echelons of the British street art movement.
Sickboy is one of the first UK artists to use a logo in place of a tag, and his red and yellow street logo known as ‘The Temple’ can be seen on walls and wheelie bins worldwide.
Sickboy has built up one of the largest bodies of street art works in UK history and he is tipped by the leading financial press as one of the movement’s most bankable artists. His temples, slogans and audacious stunts – including the caged heart installation dropped outside the Tate Modern in 2008 – have landed him global recognition.
His work has featured in countless graffiti books and documentary films including Banksy’s Oscar-nominated Exit Through the Gift Shop, and in global and national TV, newspapers and magazines including BBC London News, The Financial Times, The Independent, i-D, and many more.

Mr.THOMS, a Funky Movement



Talent, humor and a little insanity. Meet Mr THOMS aka Diego della Posta, an Italian street artist. Mr.Thoms works with vibrant colors and geometric shapes to create movement. The walls he works on have a direct influence on his theme. His great understanding of architecture and body language allow him to grasp the essence of his characters and transcribe it to the walls.
His characters appear directed by insanity. They have a  funky sparkle in their eyes. His cartoonish portraits will make you want to stand up in move. This is what defines Mr.Thoms skills, his ability to depict movement onto the walls. You can feel the dog breathing, hear the musician playing and smell the alien’s paint.

INSTALLATIONS ATTACK PEOPLE by Filthy Luker



Filthy Luker is a painter who is really attacking his audience. Who could think that a green octopus suddenly starts to creep out from the windows, a huge banana rind lounges just in the center of a road and the trees starts to see! 
The painter transform the urban environment making the tortured inhabitants stiffen with astonishment in front of a merrily winking water pipe, a sad TV which was thrown out by its owner or a large-toothed rubbish bin. 
This art is sparkling with humor, recklessness, it shocks you and force to look at the world in a new way.
