Speaking about the exhibition the gallery owner Mark Polglase says: "The Soup Gallery is extremely excited to welcome an artist who rides high in the estimation of his peers, a style captain who has been rocking on top with his groundbreaking approach to graffiti for over 15 years.

"ErmOne is well versed in applying his unique style to any given platform whether it be canvas, concrete, metal or paper.

"Never failing to drop a mad fresh flavour that leaves fellow graffiti writers awestruck and eye candy enthusiasts hungry for more."

The style ErmOne uses is said to be an exploration of the classical graffiti elements - letters, arrows, connections, drips, splats and clouds.

The erratic style of his work may stem from his eclectic influences which include old school New York graffiti, old school London graffiti and the fine art world.

I'm based in Paris right now, and there's an amazing graff scene here… so much inspiration that it's impossible not to want to paint ErmOne

Speaking about the style of his work ErmOne commented: "I'm into graff for the experience of painting, I just love the way it looks, everything about it. I'm not into generic graffiti, or being in one place stylistically, for too long.

"I try to be experimental and work loosely, not taking too long over getting lines right or having a few drips here and there.

"Recently I've stopped sketching, instead drawing big tags when I want to do a piece, and building them up. I want my pieces to live and move a bit, and to have that mysterious fresh factor."

There will be an opening party to celebrate the launch of the exhibition on the evening of Friday 6 November at The Soup Gallery in Truro from 5:00pm- 9:00pm with live music and refreshments, all are welcome.
