Fragile Ventures

Fragile Ventures is an independent company established to give artists a platform to develop their work into three dimensional forms and communicate it to the world. We work closely with artists to create unique pieces of art and specialise in curating memorable exhibitions to showcase the pieces. Our current artist, Ben Eine shot to international fame, when in 2010 President Barack Obama was presented with a painting by Eine, Twenty First Century City, as an official gift from the British Prime Minister, David Cameron. Ben Eine is famous for ‘Alphabet Street’ – the shutters and murals he painted in his trademark colours and typography in Middlesex Street, London– described by The Times as “a street now internationally recognised as a living piece of art with direct links to The White House.”

In 2011 Eine was invited by Amnesty International to design their 50th anniversary poster, joining other artists such as Picasso and Miro in supporting the charity through art. Eine continues to produce canvasses and screen prints, travelling the world painting his colourful letters and statements on shutters and walls wherever he can. From single letters to complex and wry statements, Eine has left his mark worldwide on shop front shutter...

As Eine’s creative output and International reputation continues to grow, Eine wanted to take his work into three dimensional form and work with Fragile Ventures to create unique hand crafted, beautiful art. For the Tokyo exhibition, Eine created limited edition cubes in concrete, metal and wood depicting the letter ‘E’ in Shutter, Tenderloin and Circus fonts.
