Sunil Pawar at The Brick Lane Gallery June 28, 2006

SUNIL PAWAR
FULL FORCE!

28th June - 11th July
Private View: Thursday 29th June, 6pm onwards

The Brick Lane Gallery presents a selection of recent paintings by Sunil Pawar, aka Slingshot London - marking the first collaboration between the gallery and the renowned painter, illustrator and Dj.

At the age of fifteen, London-born Sunil, who was surrounded and influenced by the music of sound systems and pirate radio stations, skipped school one afternoon, and walked into the offices of Soul II Soul in Camden Town with a bag full of paintings - he sold every one of them. Seventeen years later and painting and Djing are still a strong element in his life.

Sunil’s art echoes the world of Dj culture, sound system clashes and graffiti art, painting on found materials using a bold mixture of spraypaints, stencils and acrylics. His paintings are as loud and bold as the music that inspired them - Pawar achieves a balance between imposing, graphic images and lyrical abstraction, demonstrating his mastery of color and composition in these sizable works.

Sunil was featured in the book ‘Stencil Graffiti’ by Tristan Manco and regularly appears in exhibitions, magazines and books worldwide. He is currently collaborating with Junya Watanabe / Comme Des Garcons Tokyo.
