  Exit Through the Gift Shop

  £195.00

  “The incredible true story of how the world’s greatest Street Art movie was never made…”

  “Exit Through the Giftshop” is an Oscar nominated documentary of how an eccentric French amateur film maker attempted to locate and befriend the anonymous British graffiti/street artist Banksy. The documentary also featured other giants of the street art movement, including Shepard Fairey, Invader, Sweet Toof, Cyclops, Swoon, Ron English, and Buff Monster. The finished movie is a remarkable piece of film-making. The  Belgian Affiche offered here was printed entirely in English and distributed to the Benelux countries of Belgium, Luxembourg and The Netherlands. and represents a Banksy designed piece that is often referred to as the ‘Mona Lisa in a shopping trolley’ style. Printed in remarkably small numbers for release in art-house cinemas, this is a marvellous opportunity to own an affordable example of Banksy’s artwork and a piece of original cinematic memorabilia presented in excellent original condition.

  Trivia: The film had its unofficial UK premiere in an abandoned rail tunnel underneath London’s Waterloo station, an area devoted to graffiti and street art. Tickets for this sold out in a minute. A red carpet was spraypainted on the ground especially for the occasion, while spectators were all presented with tins of spray paint as they left the screening.

  First Men In The Moon

  £275.00

  “H.G. Wells’ Astounding Adventure in Dynamation!”

  Nautilus Art Prints wanted to pay tribute to H. G. Wells, so, we asked the talented French duo Stan & Vince to create a poster for a H. G. Wells title of their choice and they came up with “The First Men in the Moon”. Who better than Science Fiction comic book artists to tackle a science fiction novel and much loved Ray Harryhausen movie. Their rendition is truly beautiful and their sense of detail, composition, texture and use of colour is just wonderful. Visually influenced by the 1964 film adaptation in their version, the men use spacesuits, which wasn’t the case in Wells’ original novel. Signed and hand-numbered (219/300) by the artists this is an amazing nine ink screenprint by l’Atelier Vertical, Brussels, Belgium that presents to superb effect and represents an outstanding modern art interpretation of a science fiction classic.

  Trivia: It was Nigel Kneale’s idea to frame the Wells story within a modern-day flashback following a moon landing in the 1960s. (The actual moon landing had not happened when the film was made; it occurred in 1969). Ray Harryhausen credited Kneale’s idea with giving the film an extra kick which everyone felt it needed to hook a modern audience.
