Brats of the Concrete Jungle



I went yesterday to the garden center Viherpaja to admire their Japanese garden. But look what I saw to my great astonishment! An exhibition of graffiti artists in this greenhouse. The exhibition made a huge impact on me and want to share it with you. The organizator of the exhibition is graffiti artist Jouni Väänänen.

Brats of the Concrete Jungle brings over 50 street art and graffiti influenced artworks to an unusual environment: Viherpaja Oy’s greenhouse. The exhibition includes pieces from 17 artists ranging from long-term professionals to first-time enthusiasts. The exhibition is deliberately experimental and the range of style of the artworks is wide - the only limitation given in advance was that the artists themselves have to perceive their repertory in one way or another as a part of street or graffiti art. Most of the exhibitions’ artworks are for sale. In addition, some artists are also available for commissioned work. The contact details of each artist or their representative are found next to the works.
