Contemporary street artist Eelus is known for his vivid prints and murals, which delicately balance light and dark, to draw out the beauty in the banal. From pop culture to portraiture, Eelus explores the vibrancy of urban life through his bold, graphic aesthetic, bringing colour and character to grey city streets in vast, expressive murals. ‘Chewbarber Blue’ is an exclusive, limited edition print, created for artrepublic’s summer Yard Sale. The print depicts Chewbacca in a barber’s chair, as his shaggy mane is slowly shaved off. The smart word play on the Wookie’s name generates an image that will raise a smile but, more importantly, Eelus’s eye for dramatic colour combinations offsetting the monochrome figures against an intense, blue background results in a strong and distinctive aesthetic. Not to be missed, ‘Chewbarber Blue’ is an iconic piece from one of the UK’s most sought after street artists.
