peep interview Cack Handed Kid and The Writings On The Wall Dot Art. Newcastle Street Artists and Graffiti Artists.
Cack Handed Kid showcased at There Is Beauty In Decay art exhibition in association with Nowt Special.
You can see CHK work throughout Newcastle which focuses on the macabre, including skulls and vampires and collections of macabre paraphernalia. It would be completely understandable if you missed this street art exhibition, situated in the middle of Lime Street, Ouseburn Valley between two abandoned buildings
After walking past the front door many times. I began to wonder that this must be it. It’s common practice that most abandoned art exhibitions have poorly promoted material. Even if you walk through the door, you are still left wondering, is this the right place?
Cack–Handed–Kid, The Writings On The Wall Dot Art, Van Goth and Third Bloom. The visual artists have a specialism in either video montage, stencil art, throw-ups, pointillism and graphic art and of course graffiti bombing. This is how visual street art street should be, excellently presented for the public and within accessible public venues.
Abandoned Buildings In Ouseburn, Newcastle
There Is Beauty In Decay show was perfectly created and assembled with professional equipment including Light Trusses, PA systems playing ambient music. The hand-crafted installations and light designs lit the entire space and made it a site behold. The place was really warm also, which was a monumental feat in the middle of winter.
There was a spotlight that focused on each and every piece of art on show. There were also two video boxes displaying video installations by Third Bloom. The installations showcased a northern city train journey through an industrial northern town in the 1950’s or 1960’s.
