World-famous artists hit Neal Street
Leading names in the fields of art, fashion design and music are being showcased in a new-style exhibition-retail space which opened in Seven Dials this December. On the 7th Day showcases a 50-strong collective of world-famous artists and the prolific breed of fashion designers who have worked together to create an inspirational gallery, boutique and showcase symbiosis.
The focus for Londons raw creative energy is the brainchild of a London publishing house that produces P.I.M.P magazine - now one of the citys leading free creative titles. Respected names, who have appeared in the magazine, will be pouring in from all corners of the globe to get involved with a new physical canvas for their work. The Neal Street space has been transformed into a platform of sheer energy where internationally-renowned graff writers, illustrators and fashion designers are presented to new audiences, selling and sharing personal crafts incorporating the marriage of creativity and consumerism with integrity.
P.I.M.P brings 23 leading artists together for the first time with an impressive line up of the worlds most respected heads including Nick Walker, Insa, Wish One, Xenz, Sickboy, D*Face, Noah Butkus and Ron Jonzo. All the artists appearing at On the 7th Day are featured in P.I.M.Ps forthcoming book, P.I.M.P London. The exhibition captures the title in a live environment with a rotating exhibition space introducing a new series of artists every 7 days, plus a launch party held each Thursday night. In addition to their exhibited pieces, the artists have created limited run tees and prints, exclusively for On the 7th Day, which are available to buy in the store.
Each aspect of On the 7th Day has been turned into an artistic installation and live piece of art with garments and artwork all fitting in with the magazines fundamental ethos of showcasing artistic prowess. The new breed of highly-conceptual fashion designers including Victim, Prangsta, The Rubbish Fairy, Agent Anonym, I-SAW, Daisuke Sakaguchi and Charles of London, are currently exhibiting their work in the gallery with specially-created garments now on sale in the boutique.
On the 7th Day acts as a haven for the aspirations and achievements of contemporary pop culture, relating not only to the consumer public, but also the phenomenal talent spawned by Londons niche creative community.
