REKA

Melbourne based street artist REKA painted this mural in Berlin over the weekend. I mean traveling can be rad and distracting from being productive and all that but James definitely has it on lock!

BACKWOODS

What a killer exhibition this is going to be! I mean look at that line up! Reka, Jagi, Lister, Kinsey, KID ZOOM!, Two, even Usugrow from Japan…. FUCKKKKK!!! HUGE ups to Alex Mitchell for putting this show together(even though i won’t be able to fucking make it!), so for those in Melbourne you really don’t wanna miss this. The exhibition will be at Backwoods Gallery of course, Click the link for more details of the upcoming show.

REKA

Currently in Milano, recently painted the exterior of an abandoned Factory in Bovisa, Milano.

Taking advantage of this rather unusual but beautiful surroundings, REKA stopped by this abandoned castle at an undisclosed location somewhere in France.

“Such a rare opportunity to paint inside an old Chateau. Usually abandoned locations are covered in paint by the time you get to it. WIN. Such a beautiful setting.”

REKA : OPEN STUDIO

“After a ten year career defacing the streets and gallery walls of Melbourne, Reka is packing up, moving overseas and having one last hurrah.

He will be holding an open studio for one night only, displaying a new body of work exclusively painted on found objects. Using spray cans and rusted metal found from walking the train lines and abandoned factories, Reka has organically used each aspect of his natural element to create a process-driven concept, turning everything from the cans’ paper labels to the folds of oxidised sheet metal into self-contained artworks.

On June 20th, Reka is opening up his studio for a behind the scenes look at his new paintings and mixed media works, plus throwing in some paintings from the past decade for good measure. It’ll be an exhibition and leaving party all rolled into one, so come down and join Reka for a one final beer.”

REKA x THE YOK

My most favorite Melbourne based graffiti/street artist, REKA. I have been a huge fan of his artworks ever since day 1 living in Melbz. Fast forward 8 years later the dude’s style has progressed SO much and has never stopped killin’ it! Here’s a massive wall REKA painted with The YOK in Brooklyn, another artist originally from Melbz.
