Following on from our recent local campaign to save the Logan Hicks Nuart mural, we've just been informed of another of Nuart 2010s artists work being at threat of removal, this time in London.
It's an interesting development to see an artform that was pretty much born of the internet, using the same medium to mobilize an international fan base to try and save key works, often in communities far away from their own.
The Premises Studio in Hackney are currently the proud owners/hosts of one of Roa's key Rabbit works. The work was painted with their full knowledge on the side of their wall. (Their premises - not a council owned wall.)
They've just been served a 14-day removal order, failure to remove it will result in Hackney Council removing it themselves and billing the Premises for the time, and you know that ain't going to be cheap.
A save the Rabbit petition has been started on the link below. Hopefully fans of Roa's work for Nuart can spare the 20 seconds it takes to sign the petition.
