The Alternative Philosophy
This vibrant group exhibition brings together recent and newly commissioned works by 12 international and emerging artists.
18 APR 2008 - 22 MAY 2008
Leonard Street Gallery is pleased to present in our upcoming exhibition The Alternative Philosophy, opening 18 April 2008. This vibrant group exhibition brings together recent and newly commissioned works by 12 international and emerging artists.
Underground art has since spread around the world, from the East End of London to Tokyo, Berlin, Melbourne, Australia, to São Paulo, Brazil, and because of the movement’s underground nature, the work of today’s most prominent street artists are still waiting to be seen. This unique exhibition showcases various exceptional examples of works new-found to the London scene continuing to celebrate and showcase the various degrees of talent this genre has to offer.
Please refer to the Press Release and Artist Pages for additional information.

KILL PIXIE cut his teeth publishing his art without permission on the streets of Sydney, Australia.
Growing rapidly in maturity by working with no respect for slumber, Kill Pixie is un-compromised
by the establishment, and is an uninhibited and original figure in contemporary art.
In the studio his work on hand-made wooden boxes in ink, watercolour, acrylic and resin coating
has attained much attention, his mediums recently have included works on paper and sculpture.
Currently, much of the work is influenced by indigenous cultures and informed by the folk art
they create.
“I am taking from the old and and new and creating my own idiosyncratic characters and landscapes.”
He adds “It’s a futuristic twist on older times. I also like to show in my painting different styles of
communication, from one place to another, and create a freedom of dialogue between the characters.”
Kill Pixie has had several solo shows in Sydney and Melbourne and has exhibited in group shows
worldwide including London, Tokyo, New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Embedded with symbols and life experiences, the work is often a suggestion of what could have been.
His strong graphic characters and patterns are delicate, unorthodox, at times absurd and humorous.
Kill Pixie presents a prophecy for an abstracted, urban version of folk art.
He has recently completed his first monograph, Kill Communication, published by IzRock Pressings.
It includes 64 pages of fine art paintings and works on the street. His exhibition at Until Never is also
the official Melbourne launch of this comprehensive publication.
