‘The Doomsday Papers’ Exhibition – By Mysterious Al



Idol urge all of you to check out this amazing exhibition at The StolenSpace Gallery, Brick Lane E1. Artist Myserious Al explains that this dark and farcical work is loosely inspired by ‘Mesoamerican Gods, the doomsday calendar, Drum & Bass, demonic intervention, Grafitti culture, Wicca and the Occult’. Whoa, we are intrigued! So what’s the story behind this elusive character? Well Mysterious Al gained notoriety as one of the first street-artists, alongside D*face for the much revered ‘Finders Keepers’ illegal art events. He has also gone on to work with some seriously heavy global brands like Adidas and Volvo!

‘The Doomsday Papers’ exhibit uses mixed media techniques and we are drawn to the parody on celebrities, particularly the cartoon-like demonic portrayal of Amy Winehouse! Genius…go see!
