Artist Joe Cruz has had a busy few months, aside from creating one of this year’s summer screen prints for the film Funny Face, he has been part of a great street art project.
He teamed up with Jack: an agency that specializes in unconventional campaigns. Their latest edition being the ‘Your Space Or Mine’ project. The project see’s the agency exploring art and ambient messaging on the street by teaming up with artists to provide a dialog and platform for creative imagery. It was Joes’ first showcase of large-scale work and we saw his distinct style of found imagery and strong mark making merge with the iconic streets of London.
Joe collaborated with photographer Sophie Mayanne and responded to these spaces by creating a series of boldly provocative images blurring lines between defining aspect of youth culture. Joe is always challenging himself to find new spaces for his distinct work placing it this time in the public sphere for all to enjoy.
The four pieces are located on: Ebor Street, Cheshire Street, Bethnal Green Road and Poland Street, in the Shoreditch area. Adding to their allure is their limited life span as is the nature of street art, ever changing to suit our vibrant creative city.
They began small, distributing posters for local artists and gigs in London and since grown to become a leading out-of-home agency for the lifestyle, fashion, music, film and arts industries. They are unconventional, doing things no one else tries and love exploring ideas to interact with weary over exposed audiences in a fresh way.
An agency with a difference – they own their outdoor sites, meaning there is no middleman in terms of media, going from concept to billboard with their own street team. We are slightly jealous of their clients who get their unforgettable brand experiences brought to life everyday.
