Blurb from Space Studio & Gallery -
"Well we sure do have a treat for you! Street Artist Cracked Ink has been making his presence known for close to a year in Whanganui since moving here a little before Artists Open Studios last year. A few commissioned murals have sprung up and we have gladly stocked some of his work in the gallery shop. Now it's time for his show and we are stoked to be hosting it!
Here's a small snippet of some of the small works available in Cracked Ink's "Take Over"...He's also planning a rather spectacular installation!'
Opening 5.30pm, 2nd April- Viewing until 29th April.
Just Rolled Back to Whanganui Seawalls all wrapped up! Thank you so much to all the support of all the artist, staff, volunteers and partners who have helped to make this project a success by creating a platform to help save our seas!

My name is Simon otherwise known as Cracked Ink, I’m an artist from the Uk, I’ve been painting for over 14 years, I studied graphic design at Uni, and quickly got involved with the right crowd. Painting and basically getting up to mischief, quickly became huge part of my everyday life. I like to think I have continued on this journey by continually pushing, evolving my style and trying to perfect the skills of painting and creating in many mediums, predominantly painting with aerosols. Myself and my work has evolved drastically in the 8 years I have lived in New Zealand. I have met many like-minded people who do what I do because we love it, this is my passion, and a big part of my life. My work is predominantly quirky, bold characters which portray an array of emotions, expressions and general attitude that I get from everyday observations.
