# Interview: Pure Evil London

Charles Edwards aka **Pure Evil** is not just artist and head behind renowned *Pure Evil Gallery* in London but also an important person in Europe’s urban art scene.

*In the 30s, Hitler was refused entry to Austrian art school twice. I would come back as the head of that college in the 30s and change that decision, and tell him his watercolours were totally amazing, and give him a place in art school so he would be a happy artist, and he would never get into politics and war.* ([Pure Evil](http://www.spinetv.net/mag/2011/Jul/15/more-stolen-moments-pure-evil/))
