Sleepwalk

A compilation by Optimo (Espacio)

Optimo have released a new compilation - ‘Sleepwalk’ a listening collection. Where you might choose to listen to it is half the fun: a psychedelic meadow, a hot air balloon or an autumnally damp West End flat in Glasgow all come to mind. Just as genre defying as the tracks you’d hear on the dancefloor, Sleepwalk comes across like a beautiful blur.

London born James Choules, AKA SHEONE, has been emptying spraycans and making graffiti for over 20 years. His approach to image making is to re-render abstracted hand drawn typography. Hip, data injected splats, overspray  and accurate spills relay an emotional slang mapped out in a highly personal shorthand.

SHEONE will be appearing for an exclusive live painting event at the inception of Sydney’s new Red Bull Gallery with a great support - DJ Mark Pritchard. (This is an invitation only event)
