09 Nov Escape Vans brings street, tattoo and surf artists together for exhibit and live van painting
Escape Camper Van rents hundreds of wildly decorated vans, which are painted by some of the best surf, street and tattoo artists from Southern California and Florida. The artists are given total freedom to paint anything they want on the vans, which makes for a wild variety of paintings that travel the country on wheels.
The Escape Artist show was created to spotlight their more personal works on canvas, surfboards and other mediums, as well as a representative painted van from each artist. The painted vans will line the street of Venice Blvd.
The public is invited to watch as the artists team up and collaborate on a van painting, live, using mediums including spray paint, airbrush and Uni Posca paint pens.
When: Saturday November 12, 2011 from 5 pm to 10 pm (rain or shine)
Where:
What: Art Exhibit and live collaborative van painting by the artists; food, beverages, and selected Escape Vans on display. Music performances from Mark7 and Aquaries, with a video music set by DJ Skitz.
CANLOVE, a recycling program for graffiti art, will also be present with their own works created solely from the discarded spray cans donated from places like ESCAPE.
