CONCRETE CANVAS AMSTERDAM PREMIERES NOVEMBER 26

Voom’s Gallery HD, the only high-definition channel devoted to the visual arts, is taking it to the streets for an in-depth look at the visually stunning and often controversial world of street art in a new half-hour weekly series, Concrete Canvas. The series explores the works of each city’s most famous -- and in some cases, infamous -- street artists, including London’s D*Face, Amsterdam’s Laser 3.14, New York’s Swoon, and Paris’ Blek le Rat, the “Godfather of Stencil Art.” Miss van Gaalen served as creative consultant for the Amsterdam episode.

Beever’s 3D work in Holland’s most picturesque port-of-call brings to life the city’s most famous icons – tulips, canals, bridges and of course, its Dutch master painters. This episode also presents noted street artist Laser 3.14 and his “Aerosol Symphonies” exhibition, where the works of 14 street artists are married with music, as well as Faith 71, whose spray can pieces graduated from the streets to the galleries.
