Original artwork description:

Urban Pop art in your own home by cult artist Sly.

These paintings are “painted” solely by gluing on pieces from The Daily Telegraph and The Financial Times, no paint is used at all, and the effect is extraordinary. They are stuck onto canvas and the edges are wrapped around with newspaper so no frame is required. They take up to 3 weeks to do from scratch although it can be quicker if one is currently in progress.

It is likely that Juan Sly has become the biggest seller of original artworks in the UK. An artist exhibiting in mainly spray stencils and oils. He has exhibited at the Saatchi (a proper gallery with pillars and everything!) alongside the likes of Banksy, Terry O'Neil, Tracy Emin and Vic Reeves and now has a permanent collections in Germany, Detroit and Uk, alongside Damien Hirst and some other artists you might have heard of plus private collections around the globe. His works rock from humour to anti-war, sex to surreal. Particularly fond of the stencil medium as it allows him to quickly respond to events and ideas and gives the work that gritty illegal look. The stencils naturally allow the works to be re-sprayed and so become affordable and disposable. He likes the fact that people can buy art that they like and not to show off how much they can afford. You can find them in bedsits, legal offices in the Temple or stuck to a fence in Bristol.
