Bristol-based street artist Nick Walker — known as the Apish Angel — comes to America, ready to stencil Tinseltown. Like his notorious countryman Banksy, Walker paints tongue-in-cheek send-ups of bourgeois prissiness, and his works have appeared in films Judge Dredd, Hackers, and Eyes Wide Shut. His most iconic contribution to England's landscape is Moona Lisa, an image of da Vinci's iconic lady exposing her derriere. Fusing traditional painting with spray-paint techniques in his works at Carmichael Gallery, Walker also dabbles in the erotic and violent, lionizing lingerie-clad gals and pistols — anything to get under the establishment's skin.
