A Touch of Ben Frost

Every week when I come to The Echo a stencil artist has added a new artwork to our front entrance. It’s become a mini stencil gallery of understated elegant work, that hangs anonymously. I am a fan of public art. Not expensive sculptures in town squares, but our post modern Michelangelo’s: words of images juxtaposed in an urban environment. The Urban artist seeks to do what the anarchist come marxist come anti-establishmentarian did 30 years ago, and that is ‘subvert the dominant paradigm’.

Urban artists’ show ties in with Splendour

Retrospect Gallery in Byron Bay will host a collaborative art installation /group show in Byron Bay from tomorrow until Sunday to coincide with the annual Splendour in the Grass music festival.
