WHITE WALLS PROJECT: SHEONE

Another month and another addition to the White Walls project here at Unit44. This time we welcome London artist SheOne to Hoults Yard to put his mark on a classic gable end. This was a major coup as for us SheOne represents the emergence of New York graffiti in London back in the 80’s. From the 90’s he has been painting on canvas, exhibiting around the world, collaborating with brands, and pushing the boundaries of his own work. His style is instantly recognisable, his style is very instinctive, in essence he applies paint to wall and lets the piece naturally take its own direction.

This mural named ‘Black Lightning’ took two days in the Newcastle sunshine, and was achieved with the help of Montana 94’, a few Red Bulls and the occasional beer. Think the Shawshank Redemption rooftop scene with a twist.  In attendance along with SheOne we had resident photographer David Bilbrough, J6 films who have created the time-lapse attached, and DayDot productions.

The Wall now sits amongst pieces from Kid Acne, Jon Burgerman, and Roa.
