“Young, rising and collectable art star Sweet Toof comes from a position in the art world which blurs the boundaries between street art and graffiti and has some very important things to say through his work,” writes David Stuart for Sartorial Contemporary Art.

“Sweet Toof pays homage to the persona and tools of the graffiti movement in out of context settings such as art establishment museums. Sweet Toof has worked through a broad range of media from street wall and sculpture to modeling and painting, and in this show his sought after fine art skills as a painter are deployed to probably their finest effect to date.”

He’s talking about UK-favorite Sweet Toof’s (The Collectors shown above) new show at Sartorial in London, alongside Martin Lea Brown’s (shown having no fun at all, below) new series Fools Gold.

Martin Lea Brown’s paintings have a humorous response to the cash crisis. In the series Fools Gold, Brown constructs scenes in oil paints of masked raiders committing the perfect crime at point blank range. Daily scenes of heists, robberies and other high culture moments. He works the oils deeply to achieve a rich, vivid and colorful painting structure, his subjects are simultaneously satirical whilst retaining a dark humor.
