Raul and West Contemporary Editions Present The Crown  Collection X The Prince's Trust
show info
Art Graffiti Illustration Artist

This week, during His Majesty The King’s forthcoming coronation, on Saturday 6 th May at 12pm GMT, the Internationally successful Italian artist known as Raul aka Marco Lullo, a self-confessed Anglophile, (originally from the city of Pescara, central Italy) together with his London based gallery West Contemporary Editions will release 74 completely unique hand painted original works on paper, one for each year of HM The King’s life, with 15% of the total of all sales benefiting a registered charity close to both the artist and The King himself, The Princes Trust (see release for more info). Raul works between the UK, Europe and travel is not simply afforded to him as a result of his multi-national success as one of the continent’s most impressive emerging artists - but it is in fact a part of the process itself. The artist travels the world studying different cultures in the constant research of symbolic languages, energy and meanings that he then transmits to his public through his art. Raul develops his passion for art regularly, painting on any material he finds in his innumerable travel adventures. From walls to paper, from glass to plastic, from newspaper to lined notebook used in schools, anything is possible for Raul if the surface permits it. Raul has seen the opportunity of the forthcoming coronation of His Majesty King Charles III as an occasion to honor the United Kingdom and his relationship with one of his adopted nations, whilst creating an incredibly unique series of works that will be based around the ‘crown’ motif popularized by and that pay homage to one of the art world’s favourite sons, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and inspired as a hybrid of the artist’s signature nomadic symbols and presented in a quintessentially Keith Haring-esque style (both inspirational heroes of Raul). Fittingly, both artists are considered art royalty themselves defining the important New York art scene of the 1980’, a period and style Raul holds dear, as a child of the decade himself. The ‘Crown’ collection will be released exclusively on Saturday 6th May at 12pm GMT via www.west-contemporary-editions.com The ‘Crown’ artworks will be available in 8 different colour editions, offering 8 different colourways of crown. A completely hand painted/drawn edition of 10 of each colour of blue, purple, pink, green, yellow, black or orange each priced at £500 + VAT, and a gold edition of just 4, each completely unique priced at £999 + VAT with a total of 74 editions all in all

West Contemporary Presents XX - Celebrating The Galleries 20th Anniversary with a group artist show of some of Britain's Finest

West Contemporary Presents XX Leading artists in sustainability, street art, sculpture, photography and mixed media are the highlights of celebration of British fine art at London-based Spring pop up art exhibition, ‘XX’, in Fitzrovia. 

LONDON (UK) - A motley crew of twenty of the U.K’s leading names in fine art are to descend on the capital for the first time collectively for a unique group show at the end of March 2023 as a celebration of British artistic excellence and to celebrate the twentieth birthday of one of London’s veteran gallerists. 

 West Contemporary, formed as Beautiful Crime Gallery in 2003, started life at the turn of the 21st century as the new millennium wave of British street art found its way from urban walls to gallery spaces with the emergence of the likes of Banksy in post Brit-pop Britain. 

Beautiful Crime Gallery became an innovative fixture in this movement as the first online street art original gallery, combining a new home for original works from the burgeoning street scene with a bricks and mortar home in Shoreditch, East London that became a staple of shows, first exhibitions for emerging names and art events of note. Leaving in 2019 to graduate into an international art consultancy (West Contemporary) and an online gallery (West Contemporary Editions), the institution of art is now bringing together two-decades of partnerships under one room for the group show; ‘XX’.

 Amongst the names featured in the show are Lauren Baker, considered the leading British female neon and mixed media artist, a London-based Northern artist known for her work in environmentalism and empowerment and that has created installations at The V&A, Tate Britain and Tate Modern. Lauren is an Ambassador for One Tree Planted, as well as Save Wild Tigers, and in 2023 will accomplish her goal of curating the planting of 8888 trees. In 2015, Baker created a Steinway piano encrusted with half a million crystals that sold for £420,000.

 Dan Rawlings, like Baker, pays homage to the natural world via his works highlighting nature’s resilience around humankind’s creations. Probably best known for his manipulation of metal and light conceived with intricate hand-plasma cutting. Projects include Future Returns a plasma-cut oil tanker housed inside a 19th century church, and Short Haul, an elaborately hand cut light aircraft shown at the Urban Nation Museum in Berlin during the 2019 Biennale. Rawlings has exhibited internationally and at the likes of Glastonbury and The Chelsea Flower show and is now considered one of the most exciting names in British art. This is his first show with West Contemporary. 

 Socially-minded London-based artist Robi Walters transforms discarded materials into beautiful works of art as a recycling practice that has attracted collectors in Sir Paul McCartney, Mary J Blige and Usain Bolt. Emerging from a difficult start in life and a time in social care, Robi’s artistic practice echoes his own life. The process of taking discarded objects and making them beautiful and ‘wanted’ has taken him to the forefront of domestic art and an Artist-in-Residence placement with Aston Martin.

 Fin DAC, notably the only artist to be commissioned by the Frida Kahlo Foundation, is now considered one of the top 5 street artists in the world. The long-time West Contemporary collaborator is known for his mural works around the globe. Since quitting a design/marketing role aged 45 just over a decade ago, the self-taught, non-conformist urban artist has defined and perfected an atypical spray paint style he has dubbed ‘Urban Aesthetics’. His collections are known for selling out within two minutes of release and his murals can be seen in Melbourne, Amsterdam, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, Paris, London and beyond. 

In a field where opportunities for female artists have been notoriously difficult to come by, internationally renowned sculptor Beth Cullen-Kerridge has moulded a well-earned space for herself as a leading light of British fine art and sculpture. Having worked with the universally admired Sir Anthony Caro and alongside Sir Normal Foster on the Millenium Bridge, Cullen-Kerridge’s pedigree is impeccable. Following a period establishing her Michelin-starred restaurants alongside TV-chef Husband, Tom – Beth is entering a period of her career where she is rightly earning the plaudits her work deserves. 

As arguably the world’s most important music photographer and documentarian, Denis O’Regan’s storied career is one of many highlights. As the person on earth to have taken the most photographs of David Bowie, the Artist-in-Residence for the Royal Albert Hall is also widely known for his work alongside The Rolling Stones, Duran Duran and Spandau Ballet. 
O’Regan had the honour of photographing the last ever Queen show featuring Freddie Mercury, alongside being the only official photographer of Live Aid and a Royal-appointment as the man behind the camera for the Concert For Diana. Official placements for The Who, Kiss, Neil Diamond, Pink Floyd, The Bee Gees and Thin Lizzy cemented the London-based artist with a front seat in the tour bus of musical royalty and a heavyweight in British fine art.   

West Contemporary are proud to use this opportunity and group exhibition to introduce The Cameron Twins. Born in 1999, the collaborative artist duo of identical twins Abigail and Phebe work together in a range of different media including screen print, digital montage, photography, casting, sculpture and installation .Their work has an overall strong and garish style using an over-saturated bright colour palette to create a surreal quality and incorporates many familiar, recognisable, fun images and pop-culture references from childhood, such as Barbie, Trolls and My Little Pony. Considered by the gallery as one (or two) of the most interesting and expressive emerging artists in the U.K, this is a first major show opportunity for the recent graduates to exhibit alongside internationally successful artists. 

‘XX’, titled as the roman numerals for ‘20’, will feature original artworks, limited edition pieces, unseen new releases and classic works across a wide range of medium including sculpture and will be open to the public for five days over March and April 2023 at Gallery Different, Fitzrovia, London.

Full Artist List: Alexander de Cadenet, Beth Cullen-Kerridge, Bex Leigh, Carne Griffiths, Chloe Natalia, Day-z, Denis O’Regan, Fin DAC, Gabriella Anouk, Jim Threapleton, Lauren Baker, Mark Beattie, Raul, Robi Walters, Russell Marshall, The Cameron Twins, The Connor Brothers, Wildcat Will, Willkay. 

‘XX’ is a group show by West Contemporary and will be held at Gallery Different, 14 Percy St, London W1T 1DR between Tuesday 28th March to Saturday 1st April 2023. The show is open to the public.

Beautiful Crime Gallery became an innovative fixture in this movement as the first online street art original gallery, combining a new home for original works from the burgeoning street scene with a bricks and mortar home in Shoreditch, East London that became a staple of shows, first exhibitions for emerging names and art events of note. Leaving in 2019 to graduate into an international art consultancy (West Contemporary) and an online gallery (West Contemporary Editions), the institution of art is now bringing together two-decades of partnerships under one room for the group show; ‘XX’.

 Amongst the names featured in the show are Lauren Baker, considered the leading British female neon and mixed media artist, a London-based Northern artist known for her work in environmentalism and empowerment and that has created installations at The V&A, Tate Britain and Tate Modern. Lauren is an Ambassador for One Tree Planted, as well as Save Wild Tigers, and in 2023 will accomplish her goal of curating the planting of 8888 trees. In 2015, Baker created a Steinway piano encrusted with half a million crystals that sold for £420,000.

 Dan Rawlings, like Baker, pays homage to the natural world via his works highlighting nature’s resilience around humankind’s creations. Probably best known for his manipulation of metal and light conceived with intricate hand-plasma cutting. Projects include Future Returns a plasma-cut oil tanker housed inside a 19th century church, and Short Haul, an elaborately hand cut light aircraft shown at the Urban Nation Museum in Berlin during the 2019 Biennale. Rawlings has exhibited internationally and at the likes of Glastonbury and The Chelsea Flower show and is now considered one of the most exciting names in British art. This is his first show with West Contemporary. 

 Socially-minded London-based artist Robi Walters transforms discarded materials into beautiful works of art as a recycling practice that has attracted collectors in Sir Paul McCartney, Mary J Blige and Usain Bolt. Emerging from a difficult start in life and a time in social care, Robi’s artistic practice echoes his own life. The process of taking discarded objects and making them beautiful and ‘wanted’ has taken him to the forefront of domestic art and an Artist-in-Residence placement with Aston Martin.

 Fin DAC, notably the only artist to be commissioned by the Frida Kahlo Foundation, is now considered one of the top 5 street artists in the world. The long-time West Contemporary collaborator is known for his mural works around the globe. Since quitting a design/marketing role aged 45 just over a decade ago, the self-taught, non-conformist urban artist has defined and perfected an atypical spray paint style he has dubbed ‘Urban Aesthetics’. His collections are known for selling out within two minutes of release and his murals can be seen in Melbourne, Amsterdam, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, Paris, London and beyond. 

In a field where opportunities for female artists have been notoriously difficult to come by, internationally renowned sculptor Beth Cullen-Kerridge has moulded a well-earned space for herself as a leading light of British fine art and sculpture. Having worked with the universally admired Sir Anthony Caro and alongside Sir Normal Foster on the Millenium Bridge, Cullen-Kerridge’s pedigree is impeccable. Following a period establishing her Michelin-starred restaurants alongside TV-chef Husband, Tom – Beth is entering a period of her career where she is rightly earning the plaudits her work deserves. 

As arguably the world’s most important music photographer and documentarian, Denis O’Regan’s storied career is one of many highlights. As the person on earth to have taken the most photographs of David Bowie, the Artist-in-Residence for the Royal Albert Hall is also widely known for his work alongside The Rolling Stones, Duran Duran and Spandau Ballet. 
O’Regan had the honour of photographing the last ever Queen show featuring Freddie Mercury, alongside being the only official photographer of Live Aid and a Royal-appointment as the man behind the camera for the Concert For Diana. Official placements for The Who, Kiss, Neil Diamond, Pink Floyd, The Bee Gees and Thin Lizzy cemented the London-based artist with a front seat in the tour bus of musical royalty and a heavyweight in British fine art.   

West Contemporary are proud to use this opportunity and group exhibition to introduce The Cameron Twins. Born in 1999, the collaborative artist duo of identical twins Abigail and Phebe work together in a range of different media including screen print, digital montage, photography, casting, sculpture and installation .Their work has an overall strong and garish style using an over-saturated bright colour palette to create a surreal quality and incorporates many familiar, recognisable, fun images and pop-culture references from childhood, such as Barbie, Trolls and My Little Pony. Considered by the gallery as one (or two) of the most interesting and expressive emerging artists in the U.K, this is a first major show opportunity for the recent graduates to exhibit alongside internationally successful artists. 

‘XX’, titled as the roman numerals for ‘20’, will feature original artworks, limited edition pieces, unseen new releases and classic works across a wide range of medium including sculpture and will be open to the public for five days over March and April 2023 at Gallery Different, Fitzrovia, London.

Full Artist List: Alexander de Cadenet, Beth Cullen-Kerridge, Bex Leigh, Carne Griffiths, Chloe Natalia, Day-z, Denis O’Regan, Fin DAC, Gabriella Anouk, Jim Threapleton, Lauren Baker, Mark Beattie, Raul, Robi Walters, Russell Marshall, The Cameron Twins, The Connor Brothers, Wildcat Will, Willkay. 

‘XX’ is a group show by West Contemporary and will be held at Gallery Different, 14 Percy St, London W1T 1DR between Tuesday 28th March to Saturday 1st April 2023. The show is open to the public.

West Contemporary Editions Presents 69 Days - Denis O Regan
show info
Artist Musician Portrait People Events Celebrity

West Contemporary Editions has released 16 images by world-renowned rock photographer Denis O’Regan to support Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity (GOSH Charity).

 ’69 days’ is a retrospective body of work featuring some of music’s most famous names and faces. 

LONDON (UK) Capital-based veteran gallerists West Contemporary Editions and legendary British music photographer Denis O’Regan - known for his official work with David Bowie, The Rolling Stones and Queen amongst many others - will team up for the ’69 days’ project, a campaign to raise vital funds for Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity (GOSH Charity), starting in October. Over 69 days (from 24 October 24 2022 to 1 January 2023), West Contemporary Editions will host a sales campaign via their website using nine classic beloved images of ground-breaking musicians including David Bowie, The Rolling Stones and Bob Marley - and a further six never-before-seen nor released images, all priced between £1440-£9000, each one in a limited edition of just ten prints. 10% of the sale price of each print sold during this period will be donated to GOSH Charity, which supports seriously ill children treated at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH). West Contemporary Editions have also agreed to match the donation percentage for any works of O’Regan’s sold during this special campaign period.

Not limited to the aforementioned bastions of musical history, the prolific documentarian’s works within the Punk, New Romanticism, Grunge and Heavy Metal movements have earned him a nearly incomparable CV of world tours, working credits at cultural behemoth moments including Live Aid and the Concert For Diana, official photographer placements for The Who, Kiss, Neil Diamond, Pink Floyd, The Bee Gees and Thin Lizzy - and a front seat in the tour bus of musical royalty. It is certainly no exaggeration to say that Denis O’Regan is one of the most important music photographers of all time.

An experienced exhibition artist and widely published photographer, Denis O’Regan was appointed as the first ever Artist In Residence at the Royal Albert Hall in 2021.

The ‘69 days’ aspect of the project is personally relevant to the artist as  O’Regan will be turning 69 years old this year.  69 was also the age long-term O’Regan collaborator David Bowie was at his untimely passing, and 1969 is a special year for Bowie fans, with the release of the incredible ‘Space Oddity’. 1969 is also the year of Woodstock, ‘Let It Bleed’ by The Rolling Stones (another O’Regan subject), and their single ‘Honky Tonk Women’.

This collaboration between Denis O’Regan, West Contemporary Editions and GOSH Charity, all based in London, is an opportunity to celebrate the best of British, a storied and unparalleled career in music and three genuinely world-leading domestic institutions in the way of artist, gallery, and charity.

West Contemporary Editions Presents 69 Days - Denis O Regan
show info
Artist Musician Portrait People Events Celebrity

West Contemporary Editions has released 16 images by world-renowned rock photographer Denis O’Regan to support Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity (GOSH Charity).

 ’69 days’ is a retrospective body of work featuring some of music’s most famous names and faces. 

LONDON (UK) Capital-based veteran gallerists West Contemporary Editions and legendary British music photographer Denis O’Regan - known for his official work with David Bowie, The Rolling Stones and Queen amongst many others - will team up for the ’69 days’ project, a campaign to raise vital funds for Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity (GOSH Charity), starting in October. Over 69 days (from 24 October 24 2022 to 1 January 2023), West Contemporary Editions will host a sales campaign via their website using nine classic beloved images of ground-breaking musicians including David Bowie, The Rolling Stones and Bob Marley - and a further six never-before-seen nor released images, all priced between £1440-£9000, each one in a limited edition of just ten prints. 10% of the sale price of each print sold during this period will be donated to GOSH Charity, which supports seriously ill children treated at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH). West Contemporary Editions have also agreed to match the donation percentage for any works of O’Regan’s sold during this special campaign period.

Not limited to the aforementioned bastions of musical history, the prolific documentarian’s works within the Punk, New Romanticism, Grunge and Heavy Metal movements have earned him a nearly incomparable CV of world tours, working credits at cultural behemoth moments including Live Aid and the Concert For Diana, official photographer placements for The Who, Kiss, Neil Diamond, Pink Floyd, The Bee Gees and Thin Lizzy - and a front seat in the tour bus of musical royalty. It is certainly no exaggeration to say that Denis O’Regan is one of the most important music photographers of all time.

Carne Griffiths Presents - "The Platinum Queen" to Raise Monies fo Great Ormond Street Hospital's Charity GOSH
show info
London Art Portrait People

British artist Carne Griffiths to officially release a portrait of HRH Queen Elizabeth II, to mark the Platinum Jubilee in 2022, with the original painting already sold for £25,000 at The Anderson Foundation Christmas multi-charity luncheon. Now considered one of the foremost young contemporary British painters and famed for his creative use of non-traditional mediums such as tea, ink and alcohol, Carne Griffiths is to release a special portrait of HRH The Queen in 2022, with £150 from each sale of the limited edition prints to go to the Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity (GOSH Charity). The money raised will help support the most urgent needs of Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH), of which the Queen is the patron. It could fund research into pioneering new treatments for children, provide the most up-to-date medical equipment, fund support services for children and their families, and support the essential rebuilding and refurbishment of the hospital. This globally admired official charity partner for the project is an apt and personal choice for the artist, having had first-hand experience of the care, love and support the hospital provides to children and families. Having become a unique attraction in the art world by distinctively combining often overlooked media with an impressive traditional skillset, Liverpool-born Griffiths is a former creative director and gold wire embroidery designer with an enviable list of accolades and creative achievements. Alongside designing the uniforms in the films Valkyrie, The Last King of Scotland, and notably, the ‘Red Death Coat’ used in The Phantom of the Opera – this is not the artist’s Royal introduction, having proudly had his work featured on the embroidered cover of the 80th Royal Variety Performance programme in 2008. 

The Anderson Foundation’s Christmas Luncheon, held at the glamorous Rosewood Hotel in London on December 3rd 2021, hosted the sale of the prestigious original artwork, selling for an impressive £25,000 with all proceeds of the day going to a number of charities, including £20,000 from the sale of the original artwork benefitting GOSH Charity. ‘The Platinum Queen’ is set to be released to the public at 12pm on the 4th June 2022, at the height of the bank holiday weekend celebrations marking the 70th anniversary of the accession of Queen Elizabeth II in 1952, via a limited edition print run of highly exclusive hand created and embellished prints based upon the original artwork produced by the artist. The limited edition prints, 70 in total (plus 20 Artist Proofs), one for each year of HRH The Queen’s time as British monarch - will characteristically for Carne Griffiths be entirely unique. Each piece will be hand-finished by the artist, produced using mixed media and with three screen-printed layers (a fluorescent, diamond dust, and a genuine platinum leaf layer) making each one a completely unique artwork. 

 The artworks have been produced at famous London print-house, Jealous Gallery, a Shoreditch and East London institution itself who are also no strangers to working with royalty due to their close working association to The Royal Academy and The V&A. The prints themselves will be available at £1550 with £150 of each sale going to GOSH Charity. UK based gallerists and art consultancy West Contemporary Editions, a two-decade industry veteran known for innovative collaborations with The Royal Albert Hall, Dubai Opera House and The Stafford Hotel, as well as works of Banksy, Marc Quinn, Fin DAC and Mick Rock, are charged with hosting the prestigious release online. They will be accepting pre-orders, with early adopters and buyers receiving a certificate of authenticity signed by West Contemporary founder, Liam West FRSA. ‘This is an incredibly special release, a celebration of British artistry, institution, and history, produced by a globally collected artist and with a percentage of all sales going to a very much deserving charity partner. To mark the Platinum Jubilee in 2022 in this way and celebrate her majesty's 70 year reign is an honour. Being able to officially partner with Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity for the project, and support their ongoing wonderful work, is a beautiful opportunity for us to use art for good’. Liam West, Founder and MD, West Contemporary Editions. ONLINE GLOBAL RELEASE: 12pm BST on Saturday 4th June 2022 via www.west-contemporary-editions.com For information on pre-orders, please email info@west-contemporary.com

 - IN PERSON BUYERS are also invited to purchase early from Kerridge’s Bar & Grill, Number 10 Northumberland Avenue, London, WC2N 5AE from Thursday 2nd June 2022
