The Unruly Gallery that was set up by artist Niels Shoe Meulman is up and running. It is a new online gallery that focuses on artists instead of movements and schools. Unruly is not only a gallery but also a web shop where t-shirts, works of art, books and silk scarves are sold. The works of art can also be viewed in person by appointment at the Unruly Gallery in Amsterdam. For prices and more information, please visit unrulygallery.com.
Niels Meulman, who is also known as ‘Shoe’ abroad, set up the Unruly Gallery. He started out as a graffiti artist and had his breakthrough with Calligraffiti, which is a combination of graffiti and calligraphy. Shoe worked as a graphic designer and creative director for various companies, until he was fed up with corporate life and decided to focus entirely on his new passion, Calligraffiti. Through displaying his work at various galleries, he discovered that most galleries could not offer him what he wanted. That is when the idea was born to open his own gallery.
Art lovers can go to the gallery web shop unrulygallery.com to admire and buy work made by various international artists. In addition to the large selection of paintings, the new Calligraffiti t-shirts (for men and women), the Unruly silk scarves and various special books are available from the shop as well. The art and other products are available exclusively through unrulygallery.com.
The first exhibition will open on 27 May 2011.
The ‘Unruly Gallery Group Show 2011’ includes work of:
Mode2, Eric Haze, Bando, Boris Tellegen (Delta), Greg Lamarche, Dr. Rat (†), John Langdon, Rammellzee (†), Parra, Nik Christensen, Jon One and Wayne Horse.
The opening is for invited guests only, but the Unruly Gallery is open to the public on Saturday 28 May and Sunday 29 May between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. After those dates, it is only open to buyers who make an appointment.
The works of art can also be viewed online and are for sale from 26 May 2011 at unrulygallery.com.
