Lawless Studio’s ‘Art Space’ closes this coming Monday 26th August so you still have the chance to buy some art where 100% of the money goes to the artist.
As Lawless Founder Josh Moore says:
My idea was to have almost a consumer facing version of what Lawless looks like visually, but with a physical space you could walk into. So if you scroll through our Instagram feed, you will see a number of artists that we work with regularly, so their style has become almost a ‘Lawless’ style. My idea was to have that replicated when you walk through the doors of Art Space, to see the artists visual styles together in one place, which adds up to the visual identity of Lawless.
The other interesting thing is that we’re not taking any commission for the artworks sold. We’re passing ALL profits on to the artists. This is our way of thanking them for supporting us from day one, and getting artists fairly paid in the process. Our work is perhaps more accessible too, than some of capital’s other galleries, due to the price points of the pieces.
But the main thing we’re trying to bring to life through Art Space is the sense of community seen within tattoo and graffiti disciplines. We have had the space as a focal point for artists to feature at, hosting live painting sessions, workshops, art clubs, as well as being present to discuss their works with fans who want to come by to see the art and the artist.
