The B in the Brad, 2007 by Brad Downey. Medium: Metal, street signs, light fixtures

Regular CR readers may remember the name Brad Downey – we wrote about the work he was producing with partner in art, Darius, while the pair were studying fine art at The Slade school in London in 2004. Now Downey is based in Berlin and works alone, but is still making works of art inspired by and usually installed on the streets. An Honest Thief – an exhibition of Downey's work opens today at The Dray Walk Gallery off London's Brick Lane. Read on to see a selection of work created by the artist since we featured him in the July 2004 issue of CR...
