Artworks at the Cans Festival, Leake Street, Waterloo. The central figure is by the stencil artist Dolk Lundgren from Bergen, Norway, who was voted the 'most likely to succeed' by his fellow classmates at 'vandal school'. Initially influenced by Banksy, he also produces popular multiple prints, notably 'Che' in 2006, featuring a cigar-smoking Che Guevara. The two alien-like figures are by the American Agit-Pop artist Ron English from New York City, who emerged from the 1990s with a reputation for 'subvertising': defacing corporate billboards with subversive attacks on popular consumer culture. The Festival, which ran from 3rd-5th May, was organised by Pictures on Walls and Blank Expression with the permission of the British Rail Residuary Board and Department of Transport. It was the world's largest exhibition of stencilled street art, and featured over 40 international artists, attracting 30,000 visitors. Digital image dated 7th May 2008. From the Graffiti Gallery recording Lambeth's urban art.
