LOKEY - LIPPY CHICKS

2010-09-15T20:30:00.003+01:00

LOKEY got into graffiti around the age of 9 ('87). Through the '90s and early '00s he was in the crews ; MBA (Mind,Body & Aerosol), DBZ (Dry Bred'z) and BA (Badd Appl'z).
LOKEY took some time out at the begining of the naughtys but is now back and part of WoC (weapon of choice). Lokey has mainly been a letter form artist, starting in the early days with bubble letters progressing through wildstlye and on to the 3D letters.
LOKEY has introduced charactors into his arsenal in the form of can_droidz , some of which made an apperance at the "crimes of passion " exhibition at the RWA (Royal West of England Academy), Bristol England.

2 original pieces up for grabs...

OSNAP proudly presents "Belly Of The Beast", a collection of collaborative photography work by two of Bristol's rising gems in the photography industry... photographer and creative director Max McClure along with freelance photographer and graphic designer Zachary Saitoti.

‘The Belly of The Beast’ will be held at The Tobacco Factory and will reflect both artists’ continued exploration of static ‘empty’ scenes. The result is a series of uniquely theatrical, yet tranquil works capturing subjects ranging from countryside spaces to vivid urban scenes. The exhibition is essentially a night time documentation of the city of Bristol in the dead of night when all souls are locked away safe and sound within their four walls.

CHEO - Shelter Auction AKA Shelter Melter

2010-03-12T17:41:00.003Z

Oh what fun & games we had at the exhibition launch night...must be time for a closing event!?...although i'm not too sure i'll be chef again!

Anyways, we managed to raised a few quids for Shelter (as chosen by CHEO), by auctioning of a canvas finished on the night. We thought it would be cool to auction of a few selected pieces at the closing event to help raise some more dough for a good cause. New work will be added to the event space after the sold pieces have been packed and shipped to their new owners, so expect some new and old work to be auctioned on the night - Now don't forget your readies!

Hope ya'll can make it.

Lucy Odlin Original Oils

2009-11-01T19:03:00.008Z

"Much of my work is informed by the discourse surrounding the relationship between painting, and photographic and digital media.
These paintings are based on a series of photographs, taken of the
television, that captured a momentary disruption in signal and revealed the images on the screen to be little more than fragments of interrupted information, clusters of unidentifiable pixels.
These pixels are reassembled in oil paint, but in such a way that the emerging image is rendered forever out of focus."

"Unfamily is a series of oil paintings, fictional ‘family portraits’ created using a social networking site to contact members who share my (unusual) surname, and requesting a photograph of them. This project takes advantage of the proliferation of disposable imagery found on the 'information superhighway', to exploit the abstract nature of the global online community. It also seeks to undermine traditional notions of portraiture, questioning the need for any real relationship at all, between artist and sitter".

"I am an ongoing collector of old black-and -white family photographs, most of which I have bought on Ebay.

Some of these I have turned into holiday albums, creating histories and sequences that are anything but real. The albums seek to remove the idea of unquestionable truth that is commonly attributed to photographic images. This painting was inspired by one of these photos".

Browner-Knowle Zine

2009-08-25T20:46:00.022+01:00

' You leave and weave a walk past the staggering drunken hordes, all baying and barking, shrieking and cackling; all made-up and falling down in a spew of wretched retching...And all the while your bile rises at this half-wrecked spectacle of blind-drunk empty revelry'

This outtake on life is deeply illustrated in words and flowing hand drawn lines, which fill the 'Browner-Knowle' zines from front to back in white & black.

Currently there are 3 issues available, all illustrated and written by Mr Brown. Each zine is around 20 pages deep, consisting of short stories and captures of the world as seen through his eyes.

These are printed in a limited run and there are very few remaining. for more details on how to purchase these, send us an email info@osnap.co.uk - oh yeah, didn't mention they are only £3 + £1 P&P!

New issue 4 available around October time.
Also Paul will be providing some new material to show directly in the gallery in a few weeks.
