Tuesday, 16 October 2007 22:14

NEW YORK CITY - 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 the new half-hour weekly series, Concrete Canvas, premiering Monday, October 22 at 8 pm ET and PT/7C.

This novel series follows internationally renowned pavement artist Julian Beever to ten cities in the U.S., Europe and Latin America. During his three-day stay in each city, Julian Beever creates astounding 3D chalk drawings that transform simple sidewalks into everything from a towering reproduction of Big Ben in London to a devastating scene from the 1906 earthquake in San Francisco. The series also 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.”

The 10 episodes that will air on Gallery HD beginning October 22. One of the 15 VOOM HD Networks, Gallery HD is available nationally on the DISH Network satellite service (Channel 9472) and Cablevision’s iO digital cable service (Channel 714).
