Kicks N Canvas Show

15 Apr 2010

Our buddies at SoleHeaven have teamed up with a red-hot line-up of artists to bring a brand new exhibition to the streets. Kicks N Canvas is a new concept in the art scene; combining two of their biggest loves, trainers and art!

They've secured a roadblock selection of 21 of the biggest artists to paint a pair of box fresh all-white Nike kicks. The challenge is to see if these guys can transfer their skills from the canvases of the streets to the trainers.

From steel shutters to brick walls, these artists are always pushing their styles and progressing their art forms, this represents a new challenge for a team of pros at the top of their game.

Chosen artists include the heel-fetish aficionado, Insa; the almighty master of wildstyle, Inkie; creator of hypnotic robotics, Mr. Jago; King of the concrete jungle, Goldie and big dog party-up tag team, ATG.

Every artist will be hand painting and customizing a pair of kicks and an accompanying 50 x 50cm canvas.

Kicks N Canvas Show, Eddie Lock Gallery, 50 Redchurch St, Shoreditch, London. Friday 9 - 18 April.
