There are some artists who are quite unique, because of their style, subject matter or materials. Shok 1 is one such artist. I don’t know if anyone else does what he does, or at least with so much skill.

Shok 1 is a British artist who specialises in X-ray images. Watching him work was amazing. He uses a small image for reference, and then sprays out every detail on a large wall. His attention to detail is just exceptional. I watched him ‘mist’ an area on the bottom right of the piece, and over five minutes he must have sprayed the same spot twenty times, with different densities of spray.
I don’t know where he got the X-ray of the unicorn from, but it must be a pretty rare thing.

Shok 1 was a lead artist at Upfest and quite deservedly so. It is amazing to have one of his pieces in Bristol as I don’t recall seeing one here before. I hope he returns next year, or sooner. Almost pure perfection.
I have never seen anything quite like this. Very impressive. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for stopping to look. Shok 1’s work is truly extraordinary and I saw another work by him in Brick Lane on Monday. To follow some time.

This really is great. I love that it is so unique, and how often do you get to see evidence of unicorns?

Amazing! First I thought it was a dental x-Ray, then ghostly clothes on a line, and then I opened up to find this, which is still completely ambiguous. Wow.

Quite unique. It would be interesting to see if he can ‘freestyle’ this stuff.
