Badgered - Limited Edition of 8 Photograph

Gavin Aldred has for over 40 years lived a creative life as a fashion retail entrepreneur and artist – musician, painter and photographer. It is his work from the latter of these activities that features here. These images represent a tiny fraction of the thousands he has taken of street art in cities from every major continent of the world. Eschewing tourist sites for the back streets where the real inhabitants of a city live, he catalogues the more subversive and ephemeral elements of their urban environment. From the overtly political to the weird and whimsical, the images represent the dreams and desires of the not-so-common minds of unsung local artists in both visual arresting and often technically brilliant ways.
