Overcoming Psychosis and Addiction Through Painting w/ Opake

We got the chance to fly out to England and hang out with our friend Opake in his studio. We talk about how painting and graffiti helped him overcome his mental illnesses of psychosis and addiction and twhat he does to make sure he stays on the right path.

PHOTO JOURNAL // Sammy-Jo Lang-Waite

Through Sammy’s work she attempts to examine the phenomenon of Boganism as a methaphorical interpretation of both the summernats and Fucking.
What began as a personal journey of Fuckedism has translated into images of Holden Commodores and Boobs that resonate with Bogan people to question their own Fuckedness.
Her photographic series “Bejazzled Ubepays” and “I’ve Done More Bums Than You Adlay” embody an idiosyncratic view of Tuff Street, yet the familiar imagery allows for a connection between Wet T-shirts, burnouts and skids.
Her work is in the private collection of probs Steve Irwin who said ‘fuck off cunt!!, that’s some real Shit Art.’

Inhale/Exhale // Faith47 Interview

Hanging out with our friend Faith47 in her studio while she was finishing up work for her latest exhibition Clair Obscure.

Liberty’s journey as an artist began on the streets of South Africa in 1997,
as a young graffiti writer known as Faith47
She rose to prominence on the international street art scene before becoming widely recognised for her multidisciplinary artistic practice.

Monumental and intimate, private and public, her artwork takes the form of murals, sculptures,
video installations, tapestries and drawings.

Deconstructing notions of value and place, investigating forms of domination,
she explores the shapes of human perception.
In quest of the divine, she expresses a longing for a deeper connection to the wisdoms of the natural world.
