Suma - Bruno 9li - Mural at Rojo Artspace, Copenhagen

We are very excited to announce that Bruno 9li will be headlining our event at The Rag Factory. This will be his first major London show.

9li, (pronounced ‘Novelli’) has emerged in recent years as one of Brazil’s brightest young artists. A native of Sao Paulo, 9li has been gaining admirers across Europe and America. In the last 3 years he has had solo shows in Copenhagen, Milan, Barcelona and San Jose.

9li’s work combines an edgy metropolitan sensibility with the mysticism and wonderment that he finds in the natural world. 9li is a deeply spiritual individual and his work channels his fascination with alchemy, shamanism and hermetic philosophies. He is at that exciting point in his career where is technique seems to become more refined with every piece he does. Follow the link to his website and you’ll see what I mean.

9li has agreed to come to London to create a large scale mural for us. This will form the center piece of our forthcoming show. We have also commissioned him to produce 4 original works to appear alongside the mural. At 200 cm x 70cm they are going to be spectacular.

Here at LAVA Collective we are already getting excited. Flying over 9li to create a mural is quite an ambitious undertaking and it demonstrates our commitment to showcasing emerging talent from overseas. Of course, we could just get some work shipped over, but where would be the fun it that? We are looking forward to meeting 9li and watching him at work.
