BATTY BASS x MTV EMA BELFAST
















I recently got asked by the amazingly talented Alex Noble to be a part of the Batty Bass Crew working on the Offical MTV EMA after show Party held in Belfast's Europa Hotel. The good people of MTV let us have complete creative freedom within the space that had been curated by Alex Noble. The team Alex Noble,Cordelia Weston, Emma Allen,Saskia Wickins and I together helped create the world of Batty Bass.. It truely looked amazing, it felt like a showcase gallery with elements of Pop Art, Tribal markings Sci-Fi and beautiful geometry for this hedonistic shindig... Within the Batty Bass room we had an amazing Cinema room with customized leather sofas, beautiful tribal mannequins, floor to ceiling murals with classic neon signs, not forgetting the multi coloured phones, neon drips and layered BB Flyers adorning the walls....

To Top off all this amazing artwork who better than Hannah Holland and the whole Batty Bass crew to provide you with the soundtrack to this extravagant creative and musical experience......

Finally pictures of what myself and fellow artist and friends Bec Dennison have been up to over the last few weeks....

INVADERS OF THE LOST MASKS - 55DSL SHOW



‘INVADERS OF THE LOST MASKS’ presents a twisted juxtaposition of styles and worlds from Graphic Artists and long-time 55DSL friends Bec Dennison and Luke Embden. Showcasing their opposing styles, the exhibition focuses on themes of collaboration and clashing, light vs dark, bringing irony and humor to the dark and surreal.

Woven into the melancholy, dreamy landscapes are secret typographic messages. The artwork encourages the viewer to look a little deeper to uncover hidden depth and meaning, and though emotive undercurrents are unmistakable, the art remains playfully engaging. Seizing nooks and crannies to fill with their signature styles, the artists have explored and utilised, not only the gallery space but the exterior facade as a canvas.

Stay tuned here for more info over the coming days – including teasers of the artwork being installed in Studio55...

oh...and did we mention, tunes on the night will be supplied by the legendary WORK IT crew...
