Pahnl Interview

TDRS is based in East London and one of the benefits to being in this part of the capital are the ever changing works of art that appear temporarily on walls, hoardings, signs, buildings and any other surface that can host spray paint. It’s the world’s biggest art gallery. And one of the most exciting galleries of this open-air variety is on our very doorstep and found via the many roads and alleyways of Shoreditch. Through pottering about in our neck of the woods, we’ve been introduced to the work of Hunto, Stik and Joachim amongst many others. Whereas the graffiti tags of yesteryear may have been once seen as a nuisance, the temporary beauty of the work of today’s street artists is as captivating as it is ever changing. And it’s quickly becoming a commodity of note. We’ve been inspired by these acetate carrying artistic rebels both here in London and in our travels across the country - becoming enthusiasts of this movement in a big way. In this episode of TDRS, we chat with one of the most exciting exponents of street art in Britain today. Taking his influence from comics and street signage, whilst adding his own subversive and often highly humorous twist – our guest uses stencils, stickers, posters, screen printing, film and photography to bring his own small world to life. His name, is Pahnl.

We’ll be ending the show with a “Tribute Mash-Up” that celebrates the lives of Maurice White from Earth Wind & Fire and Terry Wogan. There’s also an appearance from Glenn Frey in a less than cheerful guise.
