Want to get involved creating a beautiful piece of art? Join us in creating a giant floor mural inspired by Local artist Enso's work.

‍

Enso originally studied as an illustrator and over time has worked in many different areas of the art industry. He has had the influence of calligraphy from a young age through his grand mother who is a master calligrapher.

‍

He combines aspects of calligraphy, drawing, geometry and pattern making into unique pieces of art suitable for numerous applications ranging from prints to murals and large canvases. He regularly uses cardboard as a canvas as it has a natural affiliation with a Wabi Sabi aesthetic and is a good juxtaposition with the sophistication of the calligraphic marks.

‍

Enso has a focus on drawing and the journey one takes during that process. It is a reflection of the moment; imagery and lines informed by the experience of the outside world through the prism of the individual mind.

‍

His Tattoo practice has much the same influences as the rest of his work but often takes an untraditional route when doing free-hand tattoos. These are designs drawn straight onto the body with no reference. The designs often wrap around the body and accommodates the shapes and nuances.

Lick of Paint Festival are teaming up with Kelham Film Club to show Jon Reiss’ seminal documentary’s Bomb It 1 & 2 back to back.

Filmed on five continents, featuring cities such as New York, Cape Town, London, Paris, Amsterdam, Tokyo, Berlin and São Paulo, Bomb It explores the interplay between worldwide graffiti movements, the global proliferation of “Quality of Life” laws, and the fight for control over public space.

Catch a talk with Romaround on Sunday the 7th 2PM-2.30PM who will be talking all things sustainability in art and the wild mural project! Its one not to be missed!

On Sunday the 7th 3PM-4PM come check out Remi Roughs new book with a Q&A.
