# Boy Soldiers: Urban Art War in London?

Some of you will may know fine artist **Schoony**, who is a pro in creating humans out of fibreglass. His latest creation, the “Boy Soldier” is now the main part of an unusual urban art group-exhibition in London!

Thirty, well-known graffiti and street artists, including [**D*Face**](/dface-ridiculous-skate-create/), **Insa**, **Fin DAC**, **Part2ism**, [**Liliwenn**](/london-graffiti-styles-photos/), **Snub23** and **Leeks**, repainted the thirty pure white boy soldier sculptures, which will be shown in two different venues, in their own styles.

> Schoony, in partnership with Graffik London gallery, is proud to present an exclusive exhibition of his Boy Soldier, the wall-panel version of his debut fibreglass statue presented at last year’s Mutate Britain’s One Foot in the Grove. A young boy holds a grenade in one hand and the grenade’s pin in the other and reveals a breathtaking detail close to microscopic perfection.

## Urban Art Preventing Homelessness


The show seems to become a controversial street art event in this time of political war. I guess the plastic boy soldier sculptures in their urban styles will maybe appeal to the emotions of the audience...By the way, the show will raise money for [SHP](http://www.shp.org.uk/) a charity for London’s homeless people!

So if you’re interested in this very extraordinary urban art war exhibition, make sure to save the dates and the two venues:

Location 1:
Blackall Studios, 73 Leonard Street London
from 2nd to 4th September 2010, 6pm

Location 2:
Graffik London Gallery, 284 Portobello Rd, London
from 6th to 12th September 2010, 6pm
