The Shambala Art Boards
@ Shambala Festival Thursday 21st – Monday 25th August.
Shambala is a truly unique and magical festival incorporating music, art, cabaret, kids, healing, crafts and campaigns.
Jibbering Art were hugely proud to arrange the Shambala Art Boards for the festival. Four huge triangular boards and canvas totalling over 1152sqft were erected outside The Dome Arena for the artists to work their magic on throughout the festival and they certainly did.
Showing creativity, fresh & cutting edge graffiti from some of the finest graf artists in the uk. Fluid, Gastro, Glenn Anderson, Junc, LL Brainwashed, Lucy McLauchlan, Mac1 (& Mac2, Mac’s son), Mark 2, Matt Watkins, Motorboy, Newso, Rowdy & Semor & Co & Sweet Toof all painted the boards in their own unique style. We were also delighted to have Faith 47 from South Africa to join us at the festival.
Not to forget Sickboy and his iconic temple, he had to battle rain, randomness and many, many questions from the general punters to make his temple a success. Pictures of his temple will appear shortly on this news page.

FACES OF GOOD AND EVIL, SLICES OF LIGHT AND DARK
An exhibition by Juice 126
4th July - 13th August
Launch Night: Thursday 3rd July from 7.30pm
@ Jibbering, 136 Alcester Road, Moseley, Birmingham B13 8E
Juice 126 is the UK’s original metallic abstract aerosol artist, founder member of Ikonoklast and one third of the Reptiles. Born and based in Birmingham, this is his first solo show in his home city, after exhibiting nationally and internationally throughout his 28 year long career. It is a real coup to have him exhibit at Jibbering.
Recognised as a pioneer in the aerosol and graffiti art form, he was responsible for curating the Blueprint gallery aka the Selly Oak graffiti wall. Juice 126 has also curated a series of ground breaking live painting and gallery shows in the early 1990’s, from the “400ML” show featuring Mode 2, Jon 156, A - One and Stormie to the “Graffiti Bastards” and “Seven Deadly Venom’s” which featured Roughe, Chu and Part2ism to name but a few. He continues to paint and curate exhibitions including the seminal “Wildstyle For Architectural Space Show” which looked at the relationship between aerosol art and architecture, and “Prologue” which is an ongoing series of shows at the Nancy Victor gallery
FACES OF GOOD AND EVIL, SLICES OF LIGHT AND DARK is his exploration of the aerosol can, with works in a sculptural and glass medium. Juice 126’s work escapes the typographical logo and character ID’s common to the graffiti and aerosol art, instead exploring aerosol paint through colour and texture using his techniques of distortion and demolition to describe emotion through colour.
Jibbering Art and Punch Records proudly presents
