It's not as grey!

Art Attack at the Ivy

Art Attack recently had an exhibition at The Ivy Sydney. On the 12th November The Dead Space Living Artists initiative transformed the Ivy into a pop-up gallery. The aim of The Dead Space artists is to turn unexpected or thought of places into an avenue for art.
Other artists featured at the Ivy art attack were Andy Uprock with his Cuprocking, Arnie Arnold, Louis Pratt, Mia Oatley, Paul Winkler & graffiti artists The Movement.









all works above are by artists from The Movement

Cuprocking

Was a pleasure to see Andy Uprocks work last night at the Ivy. Cuprocking was created by Andy with recycled cups, something he took from his youth & relocated it into the now of Sydney & beyond.
Andy's cuprocking has given streetart & work for people to see from Surry Hills to Bondi. An artist that is always up to something & creating from what is.
Just a couple of pic's from the entrance of the Ivy where Andy Uprock had his display.
