If you’re American, you might have seen this image and thought “Yum, McDonald’s.” Of course, if you’re from anywhere else, you probably turned your nose at such a heinous form of food and wondered, “Why is an art magazine like Juxtapoz promoting unhealthy junk food?”
Okay, hopefully cultural stereotypes like that never cross your mind, but hey, we can make fun of America because we’re based in San Francisco. And everything about SF is far superior to the rest of the country. We drive Hybrids and banned plastic bags to prove it.
Seriously though, this piece from Laura Keeble is titled The Glass Supper and is part of the awesome group show Trespass Alliance: Inside Urban Art at Andipa Gallery in (of course) London. Featuring a wealth of work from internationally renowned urban artists, including: Swoon, Jose Parla, Judith Supine (Juxtapoz issue #90) D*Face, and more, Trespass Alliance proves urban art can thrive on the streets, as well as in galleries.

The Trespass Alliance: Inside Urban Art group show at Andipa Gallery signifies a shift of urban art's almost exclusive presence in East London galleries to London's more chi-chi western postcodes.

The show, Andipa's first group exhibition of "works by internationally acclaimed urban arists," features a small but impressive collection of several street art heavyweights, including D*Face, Faile, Swoon, WK Interact, Jose Parla, and Judith Supine as well as "subversive ceramics" by Charles Krafft and newly commissioned works by up-and-coming talents Nick Georgiou, Slinkachu, Laura Keeble and Beejoir.

Trespass Alliance: Inside Urban Art runs from June 26 to July 26, 2008. Visit www.andipa.com for more information.
