Jibbering Art‘s next exhibition will focus on Newso who will be:

using this exhibition to bridge the gap between his alter-modern abstract, studio based paintings and his crisp spray paintings, that he creates on the streets of Birmingham

Newso won Secret Wars Birmingham at The Rainbow back in March, as covered on the Monorex blog and in this rather nicely put together video:

The exhibition starts with a launch night on 14 August and will be there until 24 September.Â There’s more info and examples of Newso’s work on the Jibbering Art website.

Jibbering Art and The Paper Market

Two things to report from Jibbering, Moseley’s creative dervishes. Firstly they recently launched an exhibition called The Paper Market which showcases

limited edition prints by many of the finest contemporary urban artists, illustrators, designers & photographers from within and around Birmingham.

and

explores the blossoming movement of incredible art that reflects the vibrant and diverse subculture that exists in the city today.

Secondly, the exhibition also heralds the launch of the Jibbering Art website which is worth perusal.

Alright, one last thing. Their next event on Saturday 7 June at the Hare & Hounds looks very cool. They’ve got Smerins Anti-Social Club, Me & You (check their cover of Brown Paper Bag) and Mr Muz & DJ Feva from Munchbreak.

**Update** Graeme from Boxer Design went to have a look round the exhibition yesterday and has put plentyÂ photos up on Boxer’s blog – Soak It Up.
