Released December 30, 2015. Run number 6 of 25. PREFAB77 aka Peter Manning has his origins in the North of England, California and New York. Creating fast, hard edged, stripped down artwork that is often political, sometimes anti-establishment, but always beautiful. He weaves small, allegorical pieces of modern popular culture, pure rock and rebellion reflecting on the passing of our familiar institutions, shadowy establishment on the take and take small bites out of the underbelly of our modern culture that gets more bizarre with each passing day. It is a dark word of money, fashion, music and politics woven into a luxurious mixture of acrylic, spray-paint, wheat paste and varnish. Daring and dynamic, Street Art has roots in a controversial past. Long-considered vandalism, it was during the 1970s and 1980s that artists including Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring revolutionized the aesthetic, bringing their individual styles to a fine art audience and leading the way for the next generation of artists that includes the likes of Barry McGee, Invader, Mr. Brainwash, Banksy, and Brazilian twins Os Gemeos.
