In an effort to generate awareness of prostate cancer (a disease that will affect 1 in 11 men) Artists 11 will feature the appropriate number of 11 internationally renowned urban artists to create commissioned works to be auctioned as part of Bonhams’ Urban Art Auction on February 24th, with proceeds from the works going to The Prostate Cancer Charity- the UK’s leading charity working with people affected by the disease.
The reputable artists including D*Face, Dan Baldwin, Eine, Pure Evil, Gerald Laing, Andrew McAttee, Blek Le Rat, Mr Jago, Nick Walker and Xenz are reaching out to the younger generation to highlight the issue through the broad appeal of urban art, as well as giving something back to the wider community.
Prior to the auction, an exhibition will be held at The Truman Brewery from February 12 - 17, 2009 in order to preview the huge works. Reaching 175 x 60cm, the dimensions of the canvases are those of an average man; the life size work emphasizing this very real life problem.
