IngridB Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 Stik will be painting a wall in Dulwich Park today. The end wall of the building next to the bowling green, opposite the children's playground. A class from the Hamlet school is coming to watch and possibly participate between 2 and 3 if its not pouring with rain. It was surprisingly easy to get permission for this, even Southwark council loves Stik's work!

tarafitness Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 How completely awesome! Dulwich should be honoured, his manages to convey expression and emotion in such few brush strokeshe should be commended not vilified, his work is thoughtful, not thoughtless and mindless like the tags you see on bus stops/trains etc:-) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/23353-stik-the-street-artist-is-painting-dulwich/page/2/#findComment-543456 Share on other sites More sharing options...

IngridB Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 The Hamlet kids just loved Stik and helped him with his painting in Dulwich Park this afternoon. Their teacher said they were privileged to have the opportunity of working with such a popular street artist. The Dulwich Picture Gallery has sent out a press release about how delighted they are with Stik's renditions of the classical works in their collection. No, this is not graffiti as many people understand it, it is art in the streets. It is free for everyone to enjoy and open 24 hours a day.

rch Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 My initial concern, when councillors were notified of this project by council officers, was also about the possible impact of "copycat" graffiti in the area. But, having met Stik last Saturday, I'm greatly reassured by his responsible, pro-community stance. And, as Ingrid stresses, this isn't just a random, opportunistic operation... it's a specific community "performance art" project, uniquely based on renditions of the works in the Dulwich Picture Gallery in tandem with the timing of the Dulwich Festival, executed with the permission of the owners of the sites. If there is an increase in graffiti in the area, I will personally ask Arf, our amazing street-cleaning manager, to send his graffiti-busters down here... or, if anyone wants to report graffiti in general, call our Environment Call Centre on 020 7525 2000.

NickA Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I missed it last weekend due to other commitments but I heard that he let a girl (albeit another graffiti artist) paint with him. Damnit I guess I?m not blonde and attractive enough! My friend saw the photos on facebook and it looks fabulous ? the artwork not the girl, however??

You are a very ignorant person.. I've been the victim of grafitti 'Artists' when my 4 year old Renault Master van was sprayed by one of these gits.. Let me know if you would like me to spray your home or car.. I suppose not..

*Bob* Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 It depends. If you're a planning of tagging the front of my house is some pointless scrawl whilst I'm sleeping unawares, then probably not. If you're an artist, creating something which I deem to be of worth, and you have my permission, then go ahead. If you're incapable of understanding the difference, then the ignorance is all yours.

*Bob* Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 You should get out there with a couple of spray cans in the dead of night. Might loosen you up a bit. Any ideas on what your tag name might be?!

Ted Max Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Yes, it is a Gainsborough.See, by pretending to make my art publicly accessible by spraying it on walls, assuming the language of street art, I simultaneously make my art an elitist parlour game. That means I win both ways.
