Secret Walls (UK) by Liquitex

Secret Walls (UK) @ Workshop Gemayze sponsored by LIQUITEX

The “Fight Club” of the art scene, inspired by Marvel comics and graffiti.
A fixture in the global art community for over 10 years, Secret Walls (Formerly Secret Wars) is the World’s premier live art event.

Secret Walls brought global, and unparalleled live illustration battles to the creative terrain of Shoreditch in 2006. The cool simplicity of a monochrome palette mixed with the invigorating effects of time constraint has proven to be a winning concept. Today, over one thousand shows have been witnessed by the masses in almost every continent.

Aspiring artists of all styles and backgrounds contend on the global platform. They’re armed solely with black markers or acrylic paint, with the challenge of filling a large canvas.
