Originally from France, Butterfly moved to London in the early 2000s. She was captivated by the proliferation of art placed in the streets, whether stencils or else bearing a perfect harmony within their environment, like the Banksy kissing coppers in London's Soho. Due to their ephemeral nature, Butterfly started to document the streets pieces, firstly for her own records then went on fluttering around the art scene capturing the atmosphere of the shows and interesting characters.

Green Day has commissioned 21 original pieces of art inspired by their most recent album release, 21st Century Breakdown.

Curated by artist Logan Hicks, the "Art of Rock" show at StolenSpace Gallery exhibits  the 21 paintings from October 23rd until Nov. 1st to coincide with Green Day’s sold out UK concert tour.

Featured artists are New York-based painter Ron English, Amsterdam-based street artists The London Police, French stencil artist C215, British illustrator Will Barras along with artists Eelus, Chris Stain, Sixten, Adam 5100 and more. Each of the collaborating artists were each sent through a lyric sheet and asked to produce a piece of art that reflected that song, to highlight the connection between music and art.
