MAY’S is excited to present ‘Panic Attack – Monster City’ – the collaborative work of Jumbo and Zap; two artists who endeavor to transform Sydney’s monotonous, drab billboards and hoardings into bright screens of menacing comic-style characters.

'The journey that Zap has undertaken is one of time and space, seeing way into the future to the megatropolis here monsters are flying in spaceships. Jumbo, in contrast, has taken the path of the people who inhabit the mega city, with paranoia and panic overtaking the airwaves. The alias JUMBO was created in 2003 as a result of a head collision-on with the art establishment. After the shock of seeing what was possible in the public domain I quickly made a beeline for some big scale poster paper and paint. The characters were comic and pop art,  but the subject was and always will be freestyle and experimental. I have put up posters in the UK,  Europe and Sydney.'  - Jumbo

ZAP is one of Sydney's more prolific and unique street artists. His work contains influences from 1970's graffiti, sci-fi imagery, abstraction and a distinctive colour palette. ZAP has shown at various galleries and institutions around Australia.

‘I was in various street gangs from the age of 10. I had to steal sometimes to eat - it was tough. That's where my passion for graffiti and skateboarding grew - I never fitted the sporty stereotype. Always into creative pursuits, I have developed a style which is unique. Psychedelic abstract forms, shapes and spaceships are symbols of my journeys through time and space.’ - Zap

MAY’S is proud to present artist, Peter Burgess

OPENING FRIDAY OCTOBER 9, 2009
MAY LANE, ST PETERS (next to St.Peters Train Station)
SYDNEY

SAMO© got it right. Same ol’shit.  ( 718 ), aka Peter Burgess, re-presents a version of a gallery stencilled wall work, executed in the early 1980’s. Not much has changed - the content stays the same. We sit in domestic paralysis and watch endless versions of war torn lands mediated by screens in newsprint and TV. As has been pointed out before, the language of a camera and a gun are the same : you load, you aim and you shoot.

The atmosphere will be created by Scram - who will take us back to where it all began in New York city. MAY'S will become a homage to the texture of the 80's New York lane ways.

We will also be presenting a new artwork by (recently) London based Kamion.

“The people in Bristol have always been very good to me – I decided the best way to show my appreciation was by putting a bunch of old toilets and some live chicken nuggets in their museum.”

If you're passing through Newtown or St. Peters...or any surrounding area...be sure to come on down to May Lane and checkout the fresh coat of paint the May Lane walls have gotten.
No longer is the long-standing piece of the Movement Crew.
Come and feast your eyes on a new, everchanging and vibrant wall of throw-ups.
