Two very note worthy artists have come together for a special collaboration exhibition at Elms Lesters Painting Room in the UK. Both artists Dalek and Delta come from a street art background that has allowed them to come onto the mainstream scene during the past decade. Dalek became a notable name with his character and Delta has a long resume of very interesting & intricate work. The show is currently showing until September 26th, 2009.

Although both artists’ work appears to have similarities with its underlying geometric themes, it is diametrically opposed “Marshall’s use of straight line and colour is all to do with the “super flat” surface and the ambiguity of the exaggerated optical perspectives, while Tellegen’s focus is on surface, texture and shadows,’ said curator Paul Jones in a recent interview with DESIGN WEEK ‘While I have exhibited both artists within larger group shows, I thought this two-man show would challenge and stimulate viewers’
Amsterdam based Boris Tellegen will be showing an impressive body of new works including canvases, collages and some new 3D sculptural wall pieces from his evolving ‘diversion’ series..
..and juxtaposed will be a selection of American artist James Marshall’s meticulous geometric paintings, including a large scale, site specific installation painted during a recent residency at the gallery.
