INK NOUVEAU- INKIE SOLO SHOW- Opens 19th June 2009

On the 19th of June 2009 we opened an exhibition from INKIE, probably one of the best known graffiti artists in the UK.

He came up, helped us hang the show and painted a mural in the space. It was a huge honour to work with him and he turned out to be a lovely guy too, alot of fun was had!

Opposite are photos of the opening and all the work availible. Contact the gallery if you are interested.
