Black Lightning

Another month and another addition to the White Walls project at Unit44.
This time London artist SheOne was welcomed to Hoults Yard to put his mark
on a classic gable end. J6 Films were on hand to capture every moment.

This was a major coup as SheOne represents the emergence of New York graffiti in London back in the 80’s. From the 90’s he has been painting on canvas, exhibiting around the world, collaborating with brands, and pushing the boundaries of his own work. His style is instantly recognisable, his style is very instinctive, in essence he applies paint to wall and lets the piece naturally take its own direction.

This mural named ‘Black Lightning’ took two days in the Newcastle sunshine, and was achieved with the help of Montana 94’, a few Red Bulls and the occasional beer. Think the Shawshank Redemption rooftop scene with a twist. The Wall now sits amongst pieces from Kid Acne, Jon Burgerman,and Roa.
