When i first saw the flyer for the Archetypes Exhibition which was being held as part of Upfest 2011 in Bristol, I knew this was going to be a great show. Featuring the work of some of our favorite artists, and also bringing to the UK Kaws and Futura View Art Gallery put together an amazing lineup of artists. After seeing the paintings for the show we were not let down. The work more than lived up to its prestigious lineup. Here is a brief statement about the show.
