Amilas have recently picked up two new artists to add to their ever-growing collection of talent; going by the names of DiRQuo and the 8A Collective, here's what the Amilas Art site has to say:
The art of Dirquo explores an abstract representation of how graffiti is perceived and attempts to create a dialogue that questions the type of environment that is created when freedom of expression is painted over with brushes and rollers. Originals start from only £150. Hand finished silkscreens are being printed as we speak so watch this space!
The work of the 8A Collective is stunning and vibrant. Understanding one of man's greatest projects, New York City, is the unifying cause for members of the 8A Collective. Living and socializing there, their habits, enviroments and emotions are conceptualized with splatters and paint drips.
To see what's currently available from both the 8A Collective and DiRQuo click here. Prices for work by the 8A Collective ranges between £450 and £1620 while pieces by DiRQuo are priced from just £150 to £250.
