Art, Wine and Lanzarote Landscapes at the Vine of Life Exhibition

I’m of the belief that to enjoy good art at its best you need exactly the right venue to bring it to life. When you have an artist who uses a mix of wine mixed in with ink to bring his visions to fruition then you couldn’t really better the choice of a bodega as ...

Exhibition by Water Colourist Annelie Carlson

Urban Artists to Graffiti the Wall of Lanzarote Church

Urban Artists to Graffiti the Wall of Lanzarote Church

Mention graffiti artists and most people will come out with one name, Banksy. In the 1990s the legendary concrete jungle artist was responsible for changing people’s perceptions of the best graffiti – not that illiterately scratched, unimaginative garbage – and taking it from the urban underground scene into the mainstream art world, in an anarchic ...
