LEGENDARY GRAFITTI ARTIST AROE RELEASES LIMITED EDITION MURAL & PRINT-RUN WITH GLOBAL STREET ART
To coincide with the release of his long awaited book “Results Not Excuses”, prolific graffiti artist Aroe teamed up with Global Street Art to produce a large-scale mural
on Clerkenwell Road alongside limited edition prints of the same image. He will also release a limited run of t-shirts through www.vivalavandal.com.
Results Not Excuses
delves into the psychology behind graffiti, as told by academic Alexandra Hall, who spent time following Aroe as he painted both legally and illegally across the world.
Results Not Excuses visually charts the progression of Aroe as an artist, featuring never seen before sketches from his earlier work, giving readers an insight into how he
went from the young boy in Folkestone who experimented with spray paint in the 80s, to the “longstanding graffiti maverick”(ArtRepublic) who has enjoyed a career
spanning three decades, garnering international success from street art & graffiti fans.
A series of 50 high quality limited edition prints of Results Not Excuses will be sold through Global Street Art’s website - one of the largest platforms within the
international street art & graffiti community boasting over a quarter of a million fans.
All prints will be signed and hand finished by Aroe and will go on sale at midday GMT
on the 16th December. link
The mural, which stands at a vast 4 storeys high on the bustling Clerkenwell Road of East London acts as a defiant art piece intended to affect and inspire all that
engage with it. Depicting an ethnically ambiguous BBoy character, Aroe says “he could be anyone, I want people to look at the piece and think, that could be me, no
matter who they are.” Through the production of limited edition prints, Global Street Art enable Aroe-fans everywhere the chance to have access to this unique and
deeply personal piece of work.
