Moose is the grand-daddy of reverse graffiti. He’s been cleaning the streets of the UK and beyond for around ten years.Using detergent and a wire brush, the tools of many a cleaner, he works with advertisers to create innovative clean messages and slogans that inevitably turn into works of art. One of his more recent works, the Reverse Graffiti Project, was on San Francisco’s Broadway tunnel in conjunction with Green Works, to promote a plant-based cleaner.

I like the message of this artist's reality--artists are everywhere, even in places the general public and especially the art establishment tell you there are none--among janitors!

I honestly believe that there are artists everywhere among us and, just by looking at someone and their job, you cannot tell who is an artist and who is not. I don't tell the people I work with I'm a writer (and specifically, a poet). Why would I? It has nothing to do with my job (except that I am the best writer in the office--and I am the office assistant). No one I work with cares about these things. (Actually, no one cares about poetry here in the US, not just the people I work with.) I don't write for them, I write because I have to, not because I even think anyone will read my poems--most of the time they will not--and, even if they read them, they probably won't understand them. If I write a poem about death, dreams or the subjectivity of good and evil, and this is not something you put much energy into thinking about, why would you care about a poem on those topics? So, we are out there, we are creating art even if no one cares, and I don't imagine we are going to stop anytime soon. If someone recognizes what we are doing and assigns value to it, I guess that would be nice and we might get a larger audience for what we do. But even if no one cares, we won't stop, not today, not tomorrow, not next week. Even if one of us stops creating art, someone else will take our place. The necessity to create art is one of the human race's greatest gifts to the world. It just might save us all in the end.

A 21st Century Contemporary Art Gallery in Hong Kong....

In the 21st century, a new genre of art has developed and its rapid growth has been unprecedented. The way people view contemporary art nowadays has created a new and formidable player in the Art market and even national museums have had to sit up and pay attention to this burdgeoning phenomenon. The line between fine-art and street-art/graffiti is now blurred, with its acceptance and recognition by the art establishment also bringing with it criticism and dismissal.
Adapta is a satellite gallery that attempts to bridge the gap between the understanding of the European and Asian art markets, creating a dialogue which, until now, has been relatively unobserved. We believe that the talent-pool that “Urban Art” offers is extraordinary and hand-picking each artist specifically for each show will demonstrate, educate and provide a wealth of inspiration for the youth of today.
Our first project will be held in November 2008, in Hong Kong. We have curated an exhibition of 5 UK-based artists, including Cyclops, D*Face, David Bray, Word To Mother and Vesna Parchet. Although the variety of work can be considered eclectic, it is precisely this reason why we chose them in the first place. From the famous street-artist D*Face’s two-dimensional graphic art to the rich textures of Vesna Parchet’s styled character-based paintings, a plethora of mediums, emotions and messages are employed for the viewer to digest.
With two shows planned per year, Adapta will continue to be a cross-cultural pioneer and strive to bring the most sought-after and progressive artists to Hong Kong’s doorstep.
