Hidden Canvases – ‘Street Art and the City’ A talk by Doug Gillen

There’s more to the world of street art than Banksy – Hidden Canvases is a beginner’s guide to the biggest art movement since pop art. 

Doug Gillen is the man behind Fifth Wall TV, a London based production channel, and digital platform that investigates all aspects of graffiti and street art. Originally from Scotland. He created Fifth Wall TV six years ago, and he’s been filming and talking about the world of street art and graffiti ever since. From train writing in New York to interactive technology that brings murals to life, the concept of un-commissioned public art is a very different beast to that which it once was.

Hidden Canvases explores the key stages in street art’s growth examining the different elements and styles that comprise the scene with no rules.  

From the international superstars to the local underground heroes you’re guaranteed to leave knowing your Invader from your Aryz and who knows – you might even start looking at the world a little differently.
