 ‘X-Fly’ is the latest release in a series of sold out fine art prints by British aerosol X-ray artist SHOK-1. The limited edition prints feature a stunning image of a fly in his unique X-ray style. He explains, ‘Like graffiti, flies are often perceived in a negative way but they can be very beautiful’. Flies and other insects have been a recurring symbolic icon in his work since the 1980’s.  The original artwork was spraypainted on a wall in London using cutting-edge freehand techniques pioneered by the artist. No stencils or tape were used to achieve the intricate translucent effects.  This very popular picture will be released in three colourways - Fruit, Bluebottle and Fire - limited to just 50 prints worldwide. Each print is produced using top quality archival inks on heavyweight fine art paper to stand the test of time. The artworks are individually signed, numbered and embossed by SHOK-1 and a Certificate Of Authenticity is included.  The prints are priced at £140 each and can be shipped anywhere worldwide. Prints will go on sale at www.shok1.com at 3pm GMT / 10am EST on Sunday November 8th 2015. |

I like this but can't see it on my wall, always thought that shok-1 used stencils so surprised to see the original was done without them.

Mind you, reading the press release again "No stencils or tape were used to achieve the intricate translucent effects" could be misleading, it's the spray that gives that effect the stencils just form the outline.. I'm going to email him about this.. I shall report back

Wont make the walls here though
