The Thousands – Vandalog Street Art Exhibition
5th November 2009 > Craft & Creative, Ooh.com Stuff, TravelA while back, we told you about a promising young figure on the London street art scene, RJ, from Vandalog. Well, we’ve recently had an update from RJ about an exhibition he’s hosting, called The Thousands.

Now you can not only take a tour with RJ around London’s best and freshest urban art hotspots, but you can view some of the biggest international names in contemporary urban art at his forthcoming exhibition.

RJ tells us that much of the artwork at The Thousands is on loan from collectors, allowing him to include artists like Banksy, Os Gemeos, Jose Parla, Swoon, Aiko, Nick Walker, Kaws and many others that wouldn’t normally appear together.

In a passionate statement about the collection, RJ tells Ooh.com: “The Thousands includes some of the most amazing paintings that have been made in the last decade, from some of the most interesting artists in the world. I want Charles Saatchi, Jonathan Jones and Jose Mugrabi to show up and fall in love with everything there, because the people I know under 30 care more about Shepard Fairey’s posters than Damien Hirst’s spot paintings. I want to start a war. Tracey Emin was relevant. Now it’s Os Gêmeos’ turn.”
