ROCKET 01 originally from Sheffield is a Graffiti, Street and Fine Art specialist. With more than 20 years presence on the Graffiti and Street Art scene, Rocket 01 has created his own surreal style combined with impressive portraits, which is truly unique and clear for all to see.
This artist has more than just a unique style. Even before obtaining his degree in fine arts, his already well-known artwork was admired across the UK and since then has appeared across Europe in Germany, Belgium, Bulgaria and Greece. Rocket01’s initial idea was to start working on abandoned locations, initially because of his art style and philosophy that has always connected with nature, to give them a bit of soul, a bit of nature. Rocket01 is part of a growing group of people that believes in a post-apocalyptic world, where people finally learn to live with nature and not against it. This is the message that he never misses to communicate in his art.
Rocket 01 states "Tipping Point is my biggest and best canvas painting to date. It was originally 1.5m X 1.5m in size. Painted predomintely in spray paint with finer details added in acrylic I decided to produce a very limited edition run of just 25 prints.
Tipping Point is largely about Climate Change. Scientists often talk about a tipping point where the climate slides away into an extreme scenario of drouts, floods, and famine. I imagined bands of travellers, searching for gasoline, accompanied by packs of dogs that were previously pets.
Theres so much more in this piece though, its also about opposites, man and woman, holding on, letting go, love hate, flying floating, sinking and swimming, cars and bikes, bikes and horses, fire and flood, hot and cold, wet and dry, top cats and under dogs, hoof and wheel, wing and fin, red and green, life and death.
In the top right corner is an arrow, supported by two birds heading towards the tipping point. But finally it's not all doom and gloom, on the dusty track, in the path of the car, roots remain, shoots appear and grow green once again!."
