A Park In Doncaster Is The Latest Canvas For Street Artists Craig Evans And Tom Jackson, Who Work Together Under The Name Static.
The Scarborough duo are working with Doncaster Creates and AOP Projects on their first major paint project in the north of England. This follows exhibitions in Asia and the U.S as well as a high profile presence on the London street art scene.
The project, that is part of an initiative to breathe fresh life into Baxter Park, has seen the creative pair undertake phase one of an ambitious scheme, starting with an end gable paint which forms part of a wider scheme next year, devised through engagement sessions with the public including local school children, about how best to uplift this park and imagery.
Static’s studio work is created using a combination of screen printed and stencil/spray painted techniques. Recently, Static have painted large scale murals all over London and they also joined the artistic protest in Bethlehem, ignited by the opening of the Banksy hotel, where they painted their signature Chinook Chandelier which has become a symbolic motif of their work and can be found around the world.
Static are the founders of one of the largest community street art projects in the UK called Wood Street Walls, which uses street art to drive awareness & funding for community schemes and projects involving children and education.
The gable end mural will be the first of a few paints in development for Doncaster as part of Doncaster Re-mix, an arts program with a focus on arts in urban environments funded by Arts Council England, DCLT and Doncaster Borough Council as part of Doncaster Creates program and in partnership with South Yorkshire Housing Association.
