ROIDS - RAREKIND
Since beginning as a graffiti artist a decade ago, Roid has always sought to create his own unique and distinctive style. And despite his young age, he is arguably one of the most influential graffiti artists in the UK, he has spawned an army of followers who wish to seek to push the boundaries of traditional New York Subway graffiti. He is now considered to be world-class in this field. Now practicing as an illustrator in London, his work is inspired by contemporary British illustration, Italian Horror movies, Early Science Fiction, Graphic Novels and Graphic Design. His phenomenal attention to detail and broad spectrum of influence is very apparent in both his graffiti and his artwork.

MAGPIE STUDIO “Ours is a simple approach: listen to our clients; understand their audience; solve their problems. We’ve learnt that it’s easier to make yourself understood when you speak in black and white. It helps to move beyond the grey areas and deliver a message loud and clear (or quiet and clear, if the brief requires). But there’s more to it than that. We’re avid collectors of all things visual. We’re passionate about creative colour – the bright idea that catches the eye, connects with an audience and makes a message memorable.”

EL LISSITZKY
El Lissitzky was born Eleazar Markovich Lisitskii in Vitebsk in 1890. From 1909 until 1914 Lissitzky studied architecture in Darmstadt. In 1919 Lissitzky became a professor at the art school in Vitebsk, where he met Marc Chagall and Kasimir Malevich. At that time Lissitzky turned to the Suprematist theory of art and the “UNOWIS” group, beginning to work on a series of abstract paintings he called “Proun” [“For the New Art2]. Between 1921 and 1925 Lissitzky worked in Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland but became a professor at the Moscow Art Academy in 1921. He founded the international journal “Vesc” in 1922 and devoted himself increasingly to typography and exhibition design. Between 1923 and 1925 Lissitzky designed the “Wolkenbügel” project [office blocks for Moscow, some with splayed legs straddling streets]. In 1925 Lissitzky returned to Moscow and taught at the post-Revolutionary art school Vkhutemas. Between 1926 and 1934 Lissitzky designed several exhibitions. El Lissitzky worked on the journal “The USSR in Architecture”, for which Lissitzky and his wife, Sophie Lissitzky-Küppers, designed a great many issues. Lissitzky was a Russian avant-garde artist who did not limit himself to developing a form of abstract painting but rather extended the new functionalism to photography, book design, architecture and urban planning. His enormous versatility enabled El Lissitzky to forge links between the Russian Constructivists and Neo-Plasticism (De Stijl), the Bauhaus and Dada. As a painter and architect, Lissitzky was both personally and artistically close to the painter and architectural model-maker Kasimir Malevich
