Godfather of modern graffiti coming to Godfrey

Sep 21, 2016

German graffiti legend, Loomit, will be visiting the Godfrey Sculpture Park from September 25 to October 2 to collaborate with Sculptor Stefan Duerst.

Designwars.com says Loomit is the graffiti artist that gave graffiti its current meaning. Loomit started painting for fun at the age of 14. He became obsessed with it and has become known for his big wall productions. He combines meaningful lettering and things around him in his work. He has travelled and worked all over the world.

The public is welcome to drop by and watch as the two artists work together at Godfrey Sculpture Park! The collaboration will culminate in a show of sprayed sculptures at 'Studio 22 Open Gallery' in Kingston from Nov. 15 to Dec. 23, with a reception on Nov. 19.

Loomit is also hosting a workshop on Saturday, October 1. He will share his techniques, including wall prep, priming, layout, lettering, etc. This is an amazing opportunity to learn from a world-renowned artist. The fee is $100 + $30 for materials; prerequisite: basic drawing or painting skills.
