This is the fourth edition of Urban Art Area. The event is the largest review of urban art in Poland. This year’s edition will be held under the honorary patronage of the Mayor of Warsaw. The whiteMAD magazine is a media patron of the exhibition.
The event is organised by Leonarda Art Gallery. The fourth edition of Urban Art Area will be launched on 20 July. As it did last year, street art will cross the Służewiec Wall, the presentation of unique works will take place in a place that is cult for the history of Polish writing – the modernist space of the Tribune II hall with a total area of over 2,000 square metres on the premises of the Służewiec Race Track in Warsaw.
The exhibition, which runs until 25 August, will showcase more than 500 objects by almost 80 of the most outstanding and interesting artists in the field of Urban Art – live painting, murals, graffiti, screen printing, vlepki, installations and many more. The artists will show their distinctive styles in specially arranged original spaces, thus once again proving that they feel equally at home in easel painting and large-format realisations.
Visitors will have the opportunity to see the work of leading representatives of the trend – SEPE, NeSpoon, Proembrion, Chazme718, Noriaki, Pener, Cekas, Fruit of the Lump, Seikon, Sicoer, Young Dron, Finer and many others have confirmed their participation in the project.
During the event, we will make available the opportunity to purchase almost all of the works on display, and we will also take care of the collector’s merch available at the Urban Concept Store, the organisers announce.
The Urban Art Area 4 project will be accompanied by a series of Urban Art School, i.e. meetings with the most interesting artists and experts, during which it will be possible not only to take part in panel discussions and broaden one’s knowledge of the street art phenomenon, but also to watch specially prepared documentaries and animations.
There will also be a Creative Zone, where visitors will be able to learn the secrets of painting large-format murals, cutting out stencils and stickers. Those wishing to do so will also be able to try their hand at it under the guidance of the artists who create them on a daily basis.
