Handpainted Words of Welcome.
London's Southbank Centre was brightened up with a splash of sunny colour by the Alchemy Festival, with a significant chunk coming from the creativity of Hanif Kureshi and Painter Shabbu (Akhlaq Aahmad) who worked in situ on this impressive hand painted graphic artwork.
Taking influence from the typography of hand painted street signs seen across India, they took the opportunity to 'Welcome' visitors in a range of languages derived from the region.
I love the the hand rendered 3d treatments and colour choices that were being poured into the display; a great counterpoint to the mute flat grey of the surround brutalist architecture, and one that I would suggest gets retained!
You can find out more about Hanif and Akhlaq at over at handpaintedtype.com, a project dedicated to preserving the rich design heritage and typographic practices of India's street painters.
The festival has ended now, but SBC's event page for this display can be found at southbankcentre.co.uk.
SIGN PAINTERS
Handgeschilderde belettering op etalages en muren, een ambacht dat verloren dreigde te gaan, maar door een aantal liefhebbers tot een kunst wordt verheven. De documentaire "Sign Painters" portretteert een groep solisten en collectieven die dit ambacht met veel passie voortzetten. Behalve de documentaire verscheen er eind 2012 ook een boek. Een groeiend aantal kunstenaars, die white cubes links laten liggen en hun publiek opzoeken in de openbare ruimte (IRL en virtueel) grijpen terug op het ambacht van de 'sign painting' om boodschappen de wereld in te sturen. Steve Powers Steve Powers gebruikt kleine en grote oppervlaktes in de openbare ruimte om zijn schilderingen op kwijt te kunnen. Van brievenbussen tot hoge muren, hij kan overal teksten kwijt. Voor het project 'A love letter for you' maakt hij samen met 25 andere kunstenaars een vijftigtal muurschilderingen in Philadelphia.

Tempting Typography Het project van Steve Powers was een inspiratie voor 'Tempting Typography', een workshop die plaats vond tijdens het Graphic Design Festival 2012 in Breda. Onder leiding van de ontwerpers van Studio Airport voorzag een groep enthousiastelingen de ramen van de winkels in karakteristieke Annastraatje van experimentele belettering.

Handpainted Type is a project that is dedicated to preserving the typographic practice of street painters around India. These painters, with the advent of local DTP (Desktop Publishers) shops, are rapidly going out of business with many businesses and shops switching to the quicker, cheaper but uglier vinyls. Many painters have given up their practice altogether. The project involves documenting the typefaces of road side painters across India, digitizing it and archiving it for future generations.
Make sure you click on the link and read the Contribution section of it, I found it very interesting and a great idea to get people involved with protecting the talent and art.
