Knights of thee Wet Shame Table

This weekend sees the opening of ‘SMOKING JACKETS FOR JERRY’ an exhibition by KUILDOOSH at the Brooklynite Gallery, yep you’ve guessed it, in Brooklyn, New York.

KUILDOOSH (pronounced Coo-el-doosh) and WET (s)SHAME KNIGHTS (WSK or WSSK) are both part and parcel of the same creative package from the South West England.

The 3 artists behind the duel crew identity are
EKO
MUDWIG
PARIS

KUILDOOSH are so far ahead of the game that most regular street art heads don’t even get it.

The RWC crew are in love with WSK/KUILDOOSH. Rosto and Dred had the pleasure of meeting Mudwig at Mr Jagos opening at Stolenspace earlier this year. They had a little chat about coming to Guernsey and so a plan was hatched. WATCH THIS SPACE.

The beauty in WSK/KUILDOOSH is the mix of styles that the three artists bring to the table. This clash of styles has led to the emergence of an unpredictable and experimental style that takes its inspiration from a wide field of references: Nazi iconography, Dadaism, pop culture, Futurism, Victorian dress, graphic design, isometric drawings and a bizarre use of Middle English. Unlike most graffiti crews WSK/KUILDOOSH seem to be as well known not only for their paintings but also their approach/ethos.



Sodden earth of home countys now swealtering 'neath the Rhinosceruses horn. Pummeled by powder, these Gods knew of great times still echoing in the lost lands and simple peoples. Or so it seemed when we set sail... Now all was transmotifying, bursting blossoms of infinite stillness, poaring as the sphere of all we knew slipped into the dusty night - Kuildoosh
