ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Polari Batgay (on chunky canvas) + FREE poem written in Polari. After years of KAPOWs, ZAPs, BOOMs and HOLY this 'n thats thinking they is cool, they look at themselves and realise they just ain’t cool no more and something needs to change. I think there's a warning to us all, in that? Also Batgay is a celebration of the gay language Polari which now has its own Wikipedia page. The second verse of “Polari, Bat gay! “ contains a small story if you understand, or look up Polari. Batgay! by Juan Sly Danna, danna, danna, danna. Danna, danna, danna, danna. Batgay! Fantabulosa. Camp chicken, crimper dish. Bijou bod, bona buns. Dolly packet, palliass. Charper, varda, hoofer fruit. Cottage trade, lilly law, Batgay! Translation. Fantastic! An effeminate young man with tight buttocks. A small body, good tits with a pretty cock and ass. Take a look see at a dancing gay man, a public toilet, sex partner. Oh no! Police! Batgay! These are not prints as each is individually done and signed to order and consequently vary a little from the illustrated picture. These paintings are sprayed onto “chunky” canvasses, 38 mm thick and ready to hang with no need for a frame.

Juan Sly
United Kingdom
It is likely that Juan Sly has become the biggest seller of original artworks in the UK. An artist exhibiting in mainly spray stencils and oils. He has exhibited at the Saatchi (a proper gallery with pillars and everything!) alongside the likes of Banksy, Terry O'Neil, Tracy Emin and Vic Reeves and now has a permanent collections in Germany, Detroit and the Uk, alongside Damien Hirst and some other artists you might of heard of plus private collections around the globe. His works rock from humour to anti-war, sex to surreal. Particularly fond of the stencil medium as it allows him to quickly respond to events and ideas and gives the work that gritty illegal look. The stencils naturally allow the works to be resprayed and so become affordable and disposable. He likes the fact that people can buy art that they like and not to show off how much they can afford. You can find them in bedsits, legal offices in the Temple or stuck to a fence in Bristol. Spiel by Steeve
