This weekend sees a feast of street art at The Bernard Shaw. Friday night kicks off at 7 sharp with the Achieving Art Exhibition 2009 in Aid of Saplings (a school for children with Autism). The silent auction will host work from both Irish and International street/graffiti artists including Sums, Asbestos, Jor, Rask, Fink and Maser to name but a few.
Saturday night, July 18th, Will St Ledger presents the second Antics Rogue Show. From Toejam: “The brain child of local Dail climbing art hooligan Will St Leger, the first installment took place as part of last year’s Fringe Festival. Its a simple idea: You turn up with your old painting/picture etc, hand it in, the artists are called in, they are given a piece at random, they go to work on it live with spray, stencil, marker, blood or whatever their favourite medium is and an hour later you have a one of a kind updated piece of art. At this point the hand goes out looking for donations and you pay what you think it’s worth with all money going to the artists themselves.
Artists confirmed for the event are Asbestos, Adam Crane, ADW, Shane, Canvaz, Will himself, Morgan and more to be confirmed.
The event starts at 6:30pm and we reccomend you get there by 6pm to submit your picture for vandalism and get your ticket.”

Will St Ledger joined the MART team to bring interactive and visual feast to the eyes of clubbers. He tells us “Electro stenciling is a performance based art using a canvas covered in light sensitive paint and a strobe light. Very effective in the dark, but only lasts half an hour.” This clip is taken from POGO at The Twisted Pepper in Dublin.
The Dublin based Artist is building up quite a reputation as he continually creates iconic pieces addressing Ireland’s new age. From his iconic ‘Sinking Ship’ to the brutal ‘Awake with stitched Heart’ Will St Ledger is building a reputation as being one of the country’s leading artisitic commentators on the state our nation finds itself in.

Will St Leger is a Dublin based artist/activist. ‘Famine & Byrne’ is a brilliant creation that takes on the current credit crunch. The outdoor piece parodies the well-known famine figures in Dublin with modern life additions. Will can be seen below painting at the thisisnotashop.com gallery. Also included is his colaberation with Maser at the Bernard Shaw. There are a limited number of ‘Famine & Byrne’ screen prints avaiable. He says ‘This print is for everyone feeling the credit crunch’ and can be purchased at Versus for only €20. For more info on how you can get your hands on these gems visit willsaint.com
