Selling a PURE EVIL artwork on FOUR ROOMS
A little bit of info about the Stained glass Light Box : London-based artist Charles Uzzell Edwards, who goes by the name “Pure Evil” created a pop art double-exposure print that combined the faces of Audrey Hepburn and Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi titled “Double Exposure”. A prolific traveller, he says that he had always been transfixed “like a moth” by the light coming through church stained glass windows. Collaborating with craftworker Annahita Hessami, Edwards decided to redesign and rework his piece with stained glass, choosing to use mouth blown glass as the medium. Mouth blown (or handmade) glass is a very unique material; no two panes are the same. Each piece has its own little imperfection – striation, bubbles and variations in colour density, which leads to a more interesting and charismatic end product. The result of all this careful cutting and placing was a beautiful rose masterpiece of mouth blown glass illuminated within a salvaged and repurposed London Underground Light Box found by Edwards himself. http://www.pureevilgallery.com

NEW YORK STREETPRINTING by PURE EVIL
As part of my residency at The Quin NYC I spent a day STREETPRINTING across New York with curator DK Johnston, hitting 5 significant spots across the city and producing screenprint at each location. 1. The Factory on Union Square - Where Andy Warhol was shot by Valerie Solanis. 2. Magic Shop Recording Studio - David Bowie recorded BLACKSTAR here with Producer Tony Visconti. 3. Dakota Building - Location of fatal shooting of John Lennon 4.The Met - Jean Michel Basquiat started his art career here selling his postcards on the steps. 5.The Chelsea Hotel - Dylan Thomas spent his last days here. The Elvis BLACK STAR print is a reference to the song of the same name, originally released by Elvis Presley that seems to reflect David Bowies passing in its lyrics and hints at a connection between the 2 artists, born on the same day of the year. Thanks to the people of New York and to Crossie for filming me.. Music by Pure Evil

“After 1945, Marlene Dietrich's attitude towards her native Germany remained shaky and it was not until after the fall of the Berlin Wall that she began to warm again to her homeland and especially her home town, Berlin. Shortly before her death, she expressed her desire to be buried in Berlin, in the very same cemetery as her mother. Her funeral, on 16 May, 1992, broadcast live on German television, was attended by thousands of fans. Her grave overflowed with flowers and wreaths from fans and admirers from all over the world. One of these wreaths, given by Wim Wenders, the director of Wings of Desire read, "Angels Never Die”.

Artist Pure Evil is a descendant of Sir Thomas More, the infamous Lord Chancellor and author of ‘Utopia’ who was beheaded by King Henry VIII, he inherited his ancestor’s fascination with Dystopia and the mythology that surrounds the Apocalypse. This exploration of the darker side is evident in Pure Evil’s oeuvre, notably in his recent series of crying female icons of contemporary culture that experienced sadness or tragedy during their life, including Sharon Tate and Jackie Kennedy.
Pure Evil’s name is synonymous with his signature tag: fanged bunny rabbits which he started to spray paint after spending 10 years in California as a designer and becoming influenced by West Coast Graffiti artists.
The works in his latest solo exhibition ‘The Temple of Broken Hearts’ are a departure for Pure Evil, and feature imagery that he has not examined before such as Chinese dragons and Buddhist Temples. This new series of 8 paintings were inspired by a very personal tragedy experienced by the artist, which led to a trip to Asia and a spiritual journey in search of healing. The new paintings examine the healing effect of meditation and the transformative effect of ritual, with the act of creating these images representing a cathartic process for the artist.
Pure Evil gave this personal statement: “In January, our beautiful little daughter Bunny passed away in her sleep. It was brutal. Our grief hasn’t gone away but it has changed shape... Since then, my wife and I have been on a spiritual path, and we have been in touch with our daughter, through meditation. She is coming back to us. We have been exploring the idea of past life regression, and reincarnation... We believe bunny will come back to us soon. I believe that death is just a doorway to other lives, and this is something that is compatible with a lot of Buddhist teaching, and also with science...energy cannot be created or destroyed, it just changes...
All of my work has been about tagging a bunny character in the past, but now all of my work has new meaning...I am able to ‘get in the zone’ and heal myself through my art, which is a blessing...without that I would have fallen to pieces I think. We have also been meditating, and we took a long trip to Sri Lanka and Singapore to visit temples and explore meditation there.... One of the spirit guides we have been in touch with told us about a temple in Sri Lanka and urged us to connect with Bunny there...While we were there, we connected with her through meditation, which was profound. She is with us all the time, we feel her as a beam of light, I have felt this warmth in a physical sense...”
The centrepiece of the exhibition is a diptych based on the Buddhist Eight-Fold path to enlightenment. The Eight-fold Path is the fourth of the Four Noble Truths, which were the Buddha’s first teachings. All subsequent teachings flowed from this foundation. The Four Noble Truths; The Noble Truth of the reality of Dukkha as part of conditioned existence (Dukkha meaning ‘that which is difficult to bear’); The Noble Truth that Dukkha has a causal arising (defined as grasping and clinging or aversion); The Noble Truth of the end of Dukkha (Nirvana); The Noble Truth of the Path that leads to Awakening.
The show will run daily 12am - 8pm or by appointment.

Pure Evil @ The Isle of Wight Festival
EXCLUSIVE MUSIC AND ART INITIATIVE In celebration of their 40th Birthday, music therapy charity Nordoff Robbins have teamed up with acclaimed street artist Pure Evil and the legendary Isle of Wight Festival to launch an exciting new music and art initiative to raise vital funds for the charity.
Nordoff Robbins is the largest single music therapy organisation in the UK, and is dedicated to transforming the lives of vulnerable children and adults through the specialist use of music therapy.
To launch the initiative Pure Evil, real name Charley Uzzell-Edwards, has created an exclusive special edition logo for The Isle of Wight festival, bearing his trademark 'dripping’ celebrity portrait image, made famous through his popular 'Nightmare Series’, and utilising the festival’s original and iconic artwork.
The initiative will also see Pure Evil create four new, unique art pieces exclusively for Nordoff Robbins – three of which will be painted at the Isle Of Wight Festival on Saturday 13th June, with the fourth piece to be painted live at the charity’s annual Silver Clef Awards, which on the 3rd July will celebrate its milestone 40th Anniversary, and kick-off celebrations of the charity’s 40th Birthday.
The subjects of these unique pieces will be 2014 Silver Clef Award winner Pharrell Williams, who will be playing at The Isle Of Wight Festival this year, alongside The Who’s Keith Moon and the legendary Jimi Hendrix, who both played at the original festival in 1970. All pieces will be signed by Pure Evil himself, and Pharrell Williams will be signing his art piece in support of Nordoff Robbins.
These three exclusive creations will be up for grabs to the public at the Pure Evil Gallery until the 3rd July, where silent bids will be taken for each piece. The subject of the fourth and final piece is yet to be unveiled, but will be auctioned off on the day of the awards, with proceeds from all four pieces going towards transforming lives through music therapy.
Pure Evil says "I’m completely blown away to be involved in this project. I believe all art has a soundtrack, and I believe somebody else said 'without music, life would be a mistake’ - its’ all true. I’m excited to collaborate with Nordoff Robbins, and celebrate the legendary Isle of Wight festival by doing some stonking paintings and to hopefully raise some money for an amazing charity"
John Giddings, Festival Promoter for Isle of Wight Festival, says "The Isle of Wight Festival has supported Nordoff Robbins for a number of years and we are very excited to be collaborating on such a creative and innovative project. I’m looking forward to seeing the three pieces being created on the festival weekend!"
Jo Carter, Director of Fundraising and Communications at Nordoff Robbins says "We are thrilled to be working with both Pure Evil and The Isle Of Wight Festival on this very exciting project which so uniquely brings together art and music. It is wonderful to be launching such an innovative initiative in such a special celebratory year for the charity and it will help us raise those all-important funds to ensure we can keep transforming lives through music therapy".

Damn just got the news about Robbo's death , I'm still expecting him to show up in the gallery with tales of mischief , or just to have my day filled with his spirit.. Larger than life ? You bet.. I remember when he was working on his solo show and visiting his yard to see all the paintings he had been working on , how he was nervous to find out what people thought of his work and the direction he had gone in , I remember seeing the paintings , thick with bloody blisters of crimson paint, busting out and dripping down the canvas , cut into by a Robbo tag .. Just mad colours everywhere in this chaotic yard.. Bloody brilliant. I remember the night I got back to London from a trip to Amsterdam after his accident and descending into the auction for him at Cargo .. A complete show of force from everybody who loved him and were hurting because he couldn't be there .. What a night.. I'm going to miss you man , I'm so glad our paths crossed.. Kings never die..

Pure Evil @ The Saatchi Gallery
An exhibition of new paintings, prints and hand finished one offs
One day I received an email from Dafen, a copy village in Guangdong province, China. The email contained an extensive list of a thumbnails of different paintings they could reproduce for me from every famous artist in history.
Andy Warhol had 3 pieces in the list, a Jackie, a Liz and an Electric Chair. His whole output had been distilled to three beautiful dark images, send as 64 x 64 pixel format thumbnails. I believe we are living in a culture of the thumbnail where we usually encounter art for the first time as a tiny square on a computer screen, on tumblr or instagram, and we are facing a digital deluge of 1000’s of images daily we can select and filter . If Warhol was living today I think he would have found it all as fascinating and inspiring as I do.
The starting point for my series of Nightmare paintings were these 3 Warhol images . I began with an image of Liz Taylor ‘s hair from a Warhol painting, and mixed it up with an image of a girl I found on Myspace who dressed as a ghoulish playboy bunny one haloween . Liz died a few months later and the series gained momentum and has grown from there.
With the ’Nightmare Series’ I am making myself a kind of 'copy village' celebrating the dark side of celebrity worship.

I came out to Toronto to do some on-site art at the Radiohead concert and give them a painting .. On the day of the event I was painting a large wall, I heard a rumble and looked around and saw the roof of the stage collapse... im still in shock about the whole thing, my thoughts go out to Radiohead's Drum Tech Scott Johnson who was killed in the accident... it is such a terrible thing to have happened. Im going to stick around and finish the painting and its going up in another large venue in Toronto as some kind of a tribute to him..

Pictures on Walls sealed my fate I was hanging in San Francisco for just under 6 months in 2006 when I got an email from PICTURES ON WALLS to see if I was interested in doing a print for them.. YES.. so inna James Bond fashion I flew back to London to make the PANDAS ROCK print, and then ended up extending my stay to work at the SANTAS GHETTO show on Oxford street , which was AWESOME.. I hung out at POW , did a spot of screenprinting and never went back to Cali.
