Many thanks, as always, to Ian Cox for the superb photography and dedication to comprehensively documenting the project, and to all of the artists involved in the event, many of whom proved without doubt that painting in the rain is both stupid and clever at the same time.

Vhils working overnight, chipping away at the walls (and the local residents' sleep patterns) on the streets of NW1, shortly before swapping his hammer and chisel for a hammer and sickle and jetting out to Moscow this morning.

As the hugely successful “Scratching The Surface” exhibition by Vhils (aka Alexandre Farto) draws to a close at our Rathbone Place gallery this Saturday, the action moves to our Greek Street Shop this coming Friday, the 31st of July, with the highly anticipated release of a rather special edition of our favourite Portugeezer's first book and 3 new hand-finished prints for Lazarides.

Featuring a lazer-cut front cover, the full colour, 80 page, 28 x 22 cm, hard-back book 'Scratching The Surface' is also signed by the artist, is strictly limited to only 100 copies worldwide, and costs £45.

Vhils has also been hard at work hand-finishing 3 new prints for us, and we're pleased to announce that we'll be making available 10 variants of each edition to be displayed at our Shop on Greek Street from 10 am this Friday. Each print is from an overall varied edition of 30, measures 70 x 49.5 cm, is signed by the artist, and available to purchase at £350. Whilst both the book and prints can be ordered by calling the Shop on 0203 214 0055/0066, those buying in person have the advantage of being able to select their favourite version and take it home right there and then.

After assuming that painting in the old part of Grotagglie town is strictly forbidden, Vhils thought that scratching the plaster off the walls was a good idea instead. We're very much inclined to agree.
