3D

Biography

Robert Del Naja's painting and graphic design work have represented the music of his band for over a decade, from the symbolic cover art of Blue Lines and Protection to his collaborative work with Tom Hingston and photographer Nick Knight dramatically realised on mezzanine and 100thwindow. Under his tag 3D was a central figure in the Bristolian graffiti movement that would eventually spawn Banksy. Like his music, 3D's art is both modern and grounded, challenging and beautiful, industrial and ethnic. The conscious elements of the pieces are a reminder thatMassive Attack were outspoken on social and international issues long before Michael Moore's populist documentaries gave this generation a pass to question the establishment. This is the first time 3D's extensive body of work is available to a wider audience than a few people in Bristol, and the music industry.

Lazarides tear it up at the opening of the Dean Street Townhouse

25th November 2009
On Tuesday afternoon, a long boozy lunch was well attended by Lazarides artists in honour of the launch of the Soho’s newest and finest hotel, the Dean Street Townhouse. Curated by our very own Jonathan Yeo and Francesca Gavin, the hotel’s dining room and breakfast nook house a permanent collection of artwork which includes a cross-section of 70 odd artists namely the YBA’s and the Outsiders bunch. Works by Keith Tyson, Tracey Emin and Peter Blake intermix with originals from Laz artists Jamie Hewlett, Lucy McLauchlan, 3D, Stanley Donwood, Blu, Polly Morgan, Antony Micallef, not to mention the curator himself, whose pornographic falling leaf wallpaper makes for a cozy breakfast setting. Artists were ever-present, intermingling with the likes of Kevin Spacey, Gwyneth Paltrow, Gordon Ramsey and Stephen Fry who dropped in to check out the new Soho House-owned establishment. The complimentary tabs were free flowing from midday until well after midnight as the artists relished in the opportunity to take advantage of the endless bar. And because the artists were paid with credit for bar tabs and hotel rooms for their creative contributions, there is a likely chance you’ll find one or two of them hanging around the bar if you head over there now…

The Outsiders Private View

30th May 2008
Fanatics, loose cannons, crazed beings, lunatics ... yes “The Outsiders” show is now open and running. They came; they saw; they drank; they danced like there was no tomorrow. The art on the other hand was amazing, an all you can eat feast for the eyes, and with most of the artists there, the chance to corner your favorite hero with drunken chat about how long you've been in love with them was all too much for some...hence the obscene levels of alcohol consumption, and shape shifting / dancing.

Thanks to all that came, Tiger for the beer and Oval for the Vodka and Mr jazz dance ... if there's a better reason for staying fully clothed in an art gallery I haven't seen one.

War Paint Private View

26th March 2008
How to turn your gallery into a night club:
  1. Take an artist;
  2. Get them to produce images for another artist/musicians album;
  3. Create a music/hang out/catch up area in your print room;
  4. Add far too many people for the venue;
  5. Tear up your guestlist;
  6. Add alcohol (lots and lots);
  7. Make sure its a Thursday night;
  8. Call the show “War Paint”;
  9. Stand well back and watch ...
Thanks again to everyone that took part in last Thursdays social experiment. We're still waiting on the results, but we're pretty sure the winners are 3D, James Lavelle, Will Bankhead, Tiger Beer, Ben Dury and Jagger (no, the other one). The show runs till 25th April on the Ground Floor, 121 Charing Cross Road.
