Generation Gallery stocks art from many big name artists, including Kerry Darlington, JJ Adams and Goldie. "Hang on a minute," we can imagine you crying, "Goldie?" Yes, we are referring to the British musician, actor and DJ whose gold teeth are his most obvious visual trademark. However, the acclaim that he has attracted during his long history as a visual artist means that checking out his art that can be purchased from the Manchester-based Generation Gallery can be well worth your while.
Goldie as a young graffiti artist
Though Goldie has become renowned for innovating in music, his creative talents also extend to making visual art, of which he has much experience. His history as an artist can be traced back to the 1980s, when he became a well-known graffiti artist in the West Midlands, where he grew up. Much of his graffiti artwork in Birmingham and Wolverhampton appeared in American DJ Afrika Bambaataa's documentary 'Bombing', and also in the book 'Spraycan Art', which the American photographer Henry Chalfant was involved with.
A triumphant comeback
After many years of pursuing projects outside the art world, including appearing in the James Bond film 'The World Is Not Enough' and the second series of the reality television show 'Celebrity Big Brother', Goldie made a big return to art with an exhibition called 'Love Over Gold' at London's Leonard Street Gallery. His art has since also appeared in Ibiza and Berlin, and you can click through to see what Goldie art Generation Gallery currently stocks.
