Stevio...LA LA Lovin' It?

I'm British-born Chinese from Bristol, UK. I’m LA-based. I’m a hip hop aficionado. After 15 years in London I moved to LA to pursue a new career and outlook on life.

Back in the 80s I was a DJ. In the 90s I contributed to the world's first street style exhibition at London's Victoria & Albert Museum. In 2011, I had my first interviews published. Today, I’m keeping busy with music, art, photos and writing.

Goldie solo show, London, April 10th - 26th

As I wandered around the web I spotted that Goldie opened his UK Solo Show 2009 this Easter weekend!

The Maverik Showroom in Shoreditch will host a retrospective of Goldie's work from the 80s until today's "Apocalypse Angel" and "Estate Agent" series of paintings. There's a punk-ish, political theme in Goldie's paintings picking up on real estate insanity, global retail bullies and political instability, but for some reason it didn't seem so fresh after other stencil and graffiti artists like 3D or fine artists like Micallef have touched on these themes.

Still, with airfares to the UK as low as $400 it's almost possible to go visit this show for a long weekend...or buy a screenprint online instead...hmmm!

Here's a peep of the show courtesty of Unusual Image.
