Signs of Life

BRICK LANE GALLERY – LONDON
18th-29th June 2025.

In 2023 VKM spent ten days in East London engaged in rapid fire installs of her stencils on the streets. The UK “spray-cation” blitz included an invite to the famous Penge Rooftop Gallery and many stencils along Brick Lane and surrounding locales. 

In a full circle moment, she was invited to show her skater works in Contemporary Painting & Art in Mind – at the Brick Lane Gallery mid 2025, closely following up on her Urban Glide collection in PG Gallery, Fitzroy.

The series featured nine repurposed street signs, each a direct conduit to her foundation in street photography. These salvaged surfaces become portals for the skaters and urban characters borne from her lens—captured in motion, translated through stencil, and reimagined as living signals within the city’s visual language.

Details: all works are aerosol stencils on repurposed metal street signage.
