Starting on the 20th of November at the Circleculture Gallery is a new solo show from Jaybo (aka Monk). Words from the gallery website...
In France Jaybo aka Monk was a graffiti artist before he came to Berlin in the 80s. Here his professions included rapper, actor and graphic designer, until he founded the lifestyle magazine Style and the Family Tunes as well as the street-wear label Irie Daily in the 90s. Jaybo’s versatility can be seen in the choice of his media: be it nature, the streets, canvas, sculpture, space or the screen. The diversity of media, which Monk makes use of in his work, shows that he is a master of technical variety. In 2006 his first monograph ‘My Head is a Visual Township’ was published by Die Gestalten Verlag. His artworks can be found on the record sleeves of the Berlin based alternative bands Seeed and The Beatsteaks. (source)
