Introduction...
Hello, My name is Jamie Capocci and I am a Manchester based street artist specialising in street art Stencil work and mixed media on Canvas.
I am self taught and I have been
painting for as long as I can remember.
My main aim is to provide my Customers with amazing artwork to display in their home or business with pride.I want people to be able to own original artwork that does not cost them the earth and is a complete one off.
I am currently one of only a small handful of creators of original hand sprayed artwork in the U.K.
I have been commisioned to paint a few buildings in stockport in 2015 so watch this space.....
Inspiration...
I have been fascinated by urban art since a very young age and I was always amazed at how graffiti writers were able to create such beautiful, vibrant, and crisp images using an aerosol can.This amazing ability enticed me to pick up my first spray can and spray my name.....and the rest as they say is history.
My favourite artists are Jef Aerosol, Banksy, and Blek Le Rat to name but a few.
I use lots of diferent styles and methods to create my work and as a result of this not one canvas I create is ever the same. I love the effect that can be made using spray paint, and the raw under, or overspray on a painting helps highlight that the image has been created by a human and is not a mass commercially produced object.
canvas...
I only use good quality canvas to create my artwork and as such each one is hand picked and prepped with great care prior to spraying.
When it comes to spray paint selection I only use the best on the market to create my paintings.
The paints and mediums that I use are high pigment based acylics which produce crisp, vibrant, colourful artwork that almost pops from your wall!
Commision work...
In the Studio...
I produce my artwork from iconic images and freehand my layers to produce original artwork.
I hand draw and spray every painting and not one picture is ever the same.
My paintings can take several hours to create depending on detail and drying time between each layer.The average painting takes 2o hours to create from start to finish however commision work can often take up to 60 hours to complete.
All of the paintings in the gallery are available to buy and I can customise them to suit any colour scheme.
If you would like elvis for example with a blue background use the contact form to provide me with your requirements the price of the painting will be exactly the same.
Delivery is free anywhere in the U.K. and Northern Ireland.
Please allow 2-3 days for delivery.
I am also available for commision based work and I have already created a number of paintings for various clients.If you also have any ideas for designs you would like creating contact me using the contact form on this site and I will be happy to discuss your requirements.
Send a photo or image to me and I will produce an image free of charge of how the finished painting will look and a quote for the painting.
Prices for comminsion work are based on the amount of hours it takes to create the canvas.
This is a recent picture I produced for a client for his partners birthday.He e-mailed me with the photo he wanted creating and I produced him with an image of how the finished painting would look when completed.
He was happy with the image so work began.....
This is the almost finished painting....
The painting from start to finish took around 30 hours to complete and cost £250
The size is 60 x 50 CM and is the only one of its kind in the world....
The example above is detailed and took 15 layers to complete my client was offered other images ranging from a two layer piece up to the finished article.
The two layer piece would have took less work and less hours to create and would have cost £40 I will endevour to try and create artwork to suit everyones taste and budget.
Prints of images are available in any shop but if you are searching for a unique piece of artwork that will last the length of time for yourself or as a unique gift then you have come to the right place.....
