RJ Rushmore
Michael “RJ” Rushmore is an eighteen year old young man living and working in London and founder of Vandalog, a blog highly respected and widely known throughout the street art community.
In Nov 2009 he took on the task of curating his first exhibition called “The Thousands.” The exhibition featurded original works, mostly from private collections, by some of the leading names in their field including KAWS, Shepard Fairey, Swoon, Futura, Herakut, and Barry McGee. The faith that has been placed in RJ at his young age by artists and collectors is a tremendous testament to his natural inclination toward having an eye for art.
To accompany the show RJ has written “The Thousands: Painting Outside, Breaking In”.The International art publishing house known as Drago placed their faith in RJ’s endevour.
“The Thousands” is an attempt to show the art world and the public that there are great works of art within the sphere of “street” and that these artists deserve a place in art history.
