A FEW WORDS FROM THE ARTIST...

Q: Why the name Vango?
A: I chose the name Vango because one of my favourite artists is Vincent van Gogh and the word vango sounds like vandalise and go.

Q: How did it all start?
A: I am an anonymous street artist based in Ireland going by the name Vango. I've been interested in art since I was a kid and always loved street art.

Q: How did you get into graffiti art?
A: I was inspired by Banksy Nick Walker, Insect and most of the POW artists. The style of my street work is quite similar and recently I have found myself painting interesting faces and drippy portraits. I like to incorporate my political views into my street work and some of my canvas work.

Q: What are your plans for the future?
A: I hope to become a respected street and political artist and I will continue to sell my work and build my styles.

Q: When did you start working on the streets?
A: I started working on the streets a year ago after contemplating it for awhile. Where I live graffiti is not the done thing let alone political and outspoken art.

Cartrain's Demands...

Cartrain's Demands...

"For the safe return of Damien Hirsts pencils I would like my artworks back that Dacs and Hirst took off me in November. Its not a large demand he can have his pencils back when I get my artwork back. Dacs are now not taking any notice of my emails and I have asked nicely more than five times to try and resolve this matter. Hirst has until the end of this month to resolve this or on 31st of July the pencils will be sharpened. He has been warned."

Cartrain has stolen Damien Hirst's pencils - Theft Or Ransom?

16 year old graffiti artist Cartrain walked in to the Tate Briton (London) early last week and removed a packet of pencils from one of Damien Hirsts exhibits. Damien Hirst and Cartrain have a long standing rocky history. Earlier this year Hirst targeted the young graffiti artist Cartrain using Design and Artists Copyright Society (DAC's) for breach of copyright infringement on his latest series of artworks being sold vir 100artworks.com.

Cartrain is a 16 year artist whose work can be found mostly in backstreets of East London's Brick Lane and Old Street. Cartrain's left wing stencils and collages often contain recognisable figures such as George Bush and the Queen.

The box of very rare "FABER CASTELL dated 1990 Mongol 482 series" pencils were removed from Damien Hirst's "PHARMACY installation" by Cartrain on Thursday the 2nd July around 4pm. Not long after the pencils were removed from the installation a fake police 'appeal for assistance' posters appeared all around London.

This is the latest in a string of events surrounding the feud between the two artists. It began when Damien Hirst contracted the Design and Artists Copyright Society (DAC's) to send a string of legal letters to Cartrain's artdealer Tom Cuthbert at 100artworks.com in regards to Cartrain's series of artworks 'For the Love of God'. The online gallery surrendered the artworks to Damien Hirst with a verbal apology. The legal grounds in which Hirst requested the artworks are very questionable and the story spread across the internet like wild fire. It was reported by The Independent, The Times, The Telegraph, The Guardian, The Daily Mail, Pop Bitch, Popbitch and many online blogs.

The urban art community are currently heavily debating the actions of Cartrain and what his next steps will be. Is this a random act of vandalism or a calculated guerilla art stunt? Only time will tell.
