Art World Expo at the West Coast Women’s Show!

Art World is always looking at new and innovative ways to share creativity! Last weekend, for the first time we participated in the 15th Annual West Coast Women’s Show. The premise was to pull together local and independent aritsans, jewellers, writers and one of our sponsors, all women in business, into a group booth featuring just a small selection of some of the works we feature annually. What a great concept and what a fantastic show!

Big congrats to all of our participants who made great sales, got a ton of exposure and hopefully, made lots of new connections!

Art, Jewellery, Fashion, Accessories and even Booty Bras! We had it all at this event!

Big thanks to our sponsors at Jenny Craig for handing out guests healthy snacks at our booth all weekend!

Would you like to be featured at one of our community exhibitions? Learn about how you can participate in group exhibits at large shows with us by sending an email to artists@theartworldexpo.com or by calling 604 999 6177

Aidan Liban-Street Artist in London

London Big Ben at night, UK, United Kingdom

Aidan Liban first started doing street art in London in 2013. When he debuted his cops and robbers street art in 2013. The concept was fantastic. The tongue-in cheek of it is essentially the most poignant aspect of it. The fact that a robbery is taking place whilst a police van is in the background makes this artwork so daring, fun and unique.

He’s always had a flair for stencil and graffiti art and his body of work best demonstrates that. Here are some of his pieces:

Pictured 1 Cops and Robbers (2013)

Pictured 2: Kangaroo Rumble with the King (2015)

Pictured 3: London Jungle (2013)

Last but not least, earlier this year Aidan showcased another piece that blew people’s mind. ‘The kangaroo Rumble with the king’. It’s his most elaborate work to date and requires some serious skills. He demonstrated an incredible level of artistic skill to create this magnificent street art. This is based on a stencil of a photo of one of Muhammad Ali’s famous fights. And by adding a kangaroo to the mix it’s a great juxtaposition which is typical of graffiti street art. This makes it this light hearted and magical.
