> Shaze / James Jessop / William Tuck / Martin Walter
>
> The concept was born in the winter of 2005. James
> Jessop, a retired
> graffiti artist, known for his huge oil painting
> ‘Horrific’ shown in the
> ’New Blood’ exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery in
> 2004, conceived an idea
> that would gather a diverse group of artists for a
> rare opportunity to
> present their work together.
>
> Jessop explains: ‘I wanted to do a group show
> featuring artists who
> became involved in art through graffiti, so I asked
> Gretta Sarfaty
> Marchant from Sartorial Contemporary Art, whether
> she would be
> interested in working on the project. She was very
> enthusiastic,
> and work began on setting it up.
>
> Graffiti is a never ending source of inspiration for
> my paintings and
> over the years I have got to know some of the most
> talented artists
> in the scene. Last Christmas I invited five of my
> old graffiti friends
> to dinner, to discuss the concept for the show.
> After some beer anddiscussion it became clear the
> show would be called 'Artistic Vandals'.'
>
> He continues, ‘I then had a call from a writer I had
> first met in 1996,
> called 'O.Two'. I loved his new pieces, which had a
> Pollock autumn rhythm
> feel and I thought he was perfect for the show.'
>
> In early 2006 'Shaze' was added to the line-up,
> after Jessop met with him
> on a trip to graffiti's birthplace, New York.
>
> A number of these friends and graffiti writers have
> deftly made the
> transition from painting streets and rolling stock,
> to studying at London's leading
> post-graduate art colleges, such as the Royal
> College of Art and the
> Royal Academy schools.
>
> The work of these artists is rooted, to some degree,
> in their common
> motivation: graffiti. It’s also bound by the vision
> of Jessop himself, a graffiti
> artist with Saatchi credentials. But Artistic
> Vandals isn’t a genre show,
> or a political show, or a cult show. It could be
> said it’s a show unified by i
> ts very diversity. Whatever it is, it’s very
> definitely a show of work that’s
> energy is carrying it to new places.
