[b]Soundcrash[/b] is to commission an artist to create an exclusive and unique piece of artwork at each monthly Koko night. The audience will be able to follow the creation of the artwork on site and on the large screen, and then to bid for it on an online auction the week following the event. All proceedings from this auction will go to a registered charity.

We are honoured to have the very talented and sought-after [b]Will Barras[/b] paint live during the [b]Plaid vs Red Snapper[/b] night on [b]November 20th[/b]. Will Barras’ work, currently showing at the Stolen Space Gallery in Brick Lane, can be at times dark, at times touching but always exudes a perfectly honed craftsmanship.

[b]Will Barras Biography:[/b]

“Will Barras’ composition and fluid lines provide poignant detail in liquid abstraction. The subject matter is readily familiar, but captured in a manner that seems to jar time and space with psychedelic abstraction. It is his way of expressing the emotional movements of this labour. It is therapy and pleasure and necessity. Though Will is more passionate about Cricket, and even the art of the poached egg than he is of Skate or Snowboarding, he is hailed as one of the visual artists who best represents these influential creative movements. This is not only an indicator of his prolific work rate and good nature, his artwork featuring on all types of boards, clothes and mural campaigns, but more so of his unique voice, technical competency and sense of exploration.” Harlan Levey, Modart Magazine.

Will is in high demand both commercially and artistically. He directs for the animation production Company Bermuda Shorts and designs for other commercial projects that excite him. Alongside his commercial work Will rarely takes a rest from painting and exhibiting. Last year he participated in the acclaimed Wooster on Spring exhibition in New York which saw people queuing for over five hours to get in. He has also exhibited as far and wide as Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Brussels, Edinburgh, Mayrhofen, Oslo, Copenhagen, Bratislava, Cologne, Budapest, Warsaw and London.
