Starting today, street artist Lucas Price aka Cyclops will be hosting a solo show, called “Jesus Help Me Find My Proper Place,” at Black Rat Press on London’s Rivington Street, which opened earlier this month. Price has fast become one of Britain’s most popular new street artists, covering east London with his unique, visceral pieces. This show will feature subversive slogans, on light boxes, which Price has left in high-visibility locations around London. I know that remixing letter boards is not revolutionary stuff, but Price isn’t some poetic drunkard who thought it would be funny to L our of lass. His work is carefully thought out, and positioned in highly unusual places such as the entrance to a Tube station, and in the middle of busy intersections. Additionally, he’s been known to add his own personal touch to construction equipment, giving them faces and a message of their own.
