    ‘Started Again’ – Dilk Print Drop

    Started Again is Bio Editions debut print release by Nottingham based graffiti artist, Dilk. Three editions of the print will be available to purchase at 3pm BST on Thursday 3rd August via their online store.Adapted from his ‘True Love’ canvas exhibited as part of the permanent collection at STRAAT Museum Amsterdam, each 87 x 67cm print celebrates this monumental 3.5 x 5m original artwork in a new form.Notts lad Steven Dilks began his long-standing career in graffiti as a writer in the 1980’s, prolifically producing work on the streets from a young age. Taking early old school graffiti influences and turning them into an ever-evolving contemporary art style – combined with his hunger for travelling and new connections – has established Dilk as an important part of the UK’s graffiti history.Today his recognisable abstract style situates his work in leading urban contemporary museums as it takes a contemporary twist on traditional graffiti lettering. Combining bold marks and colours with intricate finer details, each new piece maps an ever-changing amalgamation of abstracts, dreamlike colour pallets, sharp lines and drip work. Cop one today while you can.

    Alexis Diaz in Holyoke, Massachusetts

    Alexis Diaz painted a new mural in Holyoke, Massachusetts, a 40x36ft wall dedicated to all Puerto Ricans and Latinos living outside their homeland.According to the 2010 census, Holyoke had the largest Puerto Rican population, per capita, of any city in the United States outside of Puerto Rico. From a combination of agricultural programs instituted by the US Department of Labor, Puerto Ricans began settling in the city in the mid-1950s, and many arrived during the wave of Puerto Rican immigration to the northeastern United States in the 1980s.Alexis: “They leave behind their families, friends and part of their history to look for a better future. In their luggage they carry all their culture, pride and traditions to create a new home and a community proud of their roots.” Take a look at more images below and check back with us soon for more updates.

    New Work by Bip Apollo in Monte-Carlo, Monacco

    Street artist Bip Apollo recently spraypainted a rare 1965 Mustang for new private car collection.
    “In this painting, “Apollo’s Charriot” I created dripped out versions of ancient Roman/Greek sculptures I’m studying as I shift toward bronze and silver work…one of Zeus (of Otricoli), the other of Juno (of Ludovisi). In ancient mythology, these two were married lovers, and I liked the idea of a couple riding in this car together after my painting… 🚀💫,” the artist shared on his posts.Bip Apollo (also known online as “Bip Graffiti”, “BiP”, and “Believe in People”) is a formerly anonymous painter and sculptor who is, according to at least one description, “known internationally for his role in spear-heading the North American street art revival”.Bip produces work internationally as a large-scale muralist, street artist, and an occasional animator. BiP does not consider his spray-painting, stenciling, and wheat-pasting to be traditional graffiti, as graffiti artists focus on perfecting lettering styles, spreading their brand and other common characteristics of graffiti.Scroll down below for more photos of Bip’s latest work.
