Art collective Prefab77 take contemporary street art to new heights literally. Their urban artworks to date include awe inspiring paste ups in Newcastle and Brighton, each spanning the size of a three storey building. Their work relies on heavy texture, using collage techniques, thick application of gloss, and bounteous coatings of spray paint, to create bold, busy and beautiful prints. ‘Doli Capax Printers Proof 4’ is an experimental proof, created during the production of Prefab77’s sell out original ‘Doli Capax'. A striking image, ‘Doli Capax Printers Proof 4’ depicts a crowbar wielding woman, comprised from an eccentric array of collage cuttings her photorealist face peers out from a halo of kaleidoscopic patterns, which merge into a full bodied, graphic dress of impressive proportion. Against a bold red backdrop of lotus flowers and lightning bolts, the print is a compelling triumph of contemporary street to canvas aesthetics.
