# Exhibitions for Youth Artists Pure Evil Gallery Gives Graffiti Artist PANIK a Creative Break By TrendHead | Published 2009-03-06 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keeping-youth-out-of-prison-pure-evil-gallery-gives-graffiti-crew-a-creativ References: [pureevilclothing](http://www.pureevilclothing.com/) & [profile.myspace](http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewProfile&friendID=60766083) Rather than wasting young talented painters to a life of crime and countless warrants for their arrests. Why not give them a creative challenge and a platform to start a serious career? This gallery shows the artworks of a young talented painter called PANIK. He is part of a notorious [rooftop graffiti crew](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enigmatic-graffiti) known as ATG (Ahead’a The Game) which has been wanted by the police for many accounts of vandalism. However, he seems to genuinely want to make a positive change of career and the [Pure Evil Gallery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wax-melts1) situated in East London has just launched the young artist’s [first solo show](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kennedy-yanko), ‘PANIK.’ The artworks are bright and vibrant with an urban energy and edge that has been fostered through many years on the streets balancing on rooftops. I think it is a really positive thing to give troubled youth a chance to prove themselves, and in the case of PANIK I wish him a good shot a creative career. Oh, I really love the “I Heart LDN” print as well. It is a strong take on the iconic I heart NYC print. Wouldn’t it look cool on a tee shirt? ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 3% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [DIY](https://www.trendhunter.com/diy) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Youth Artists Exhibitions:** Providing platforms for young graffiti artists to showcase their talents and transition into serious careers. - **Creative Breaks for Troubled Youth:** Offering creative challenges and opportunities for troubled youth to change their career paths. - **Urban Energy Artworks:** Promoting vibrant, street-inspired artworks created by talented young painters. ### Where This Applies - **Art Galleries:** Creating exhibition spaces specifically to showcase artworks by young and talented graffiti artists. - **Youth Development Programs:** Supporting initiatives that provide creative breaks and platforms for troubled youth to express themselves through art. - **Streetwear Fashion:** Integrating street-inspired artworks, like the 'I Heart LDN' print, into fashionable clothing items. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Church-Housed Art Galleries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/greg-mike1.md) - [Graffiti Culture Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1970s-graffiti-today.md) - [Emerging London Designer Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/powershift-exhibition.md) - [Collaborative Monochromatic Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collaborative-monochromatic-art-exhibition.md) - [Drone-Assisted Landscape Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/katsu-1.md) - [Archeology-Exploring Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/andreas-angelidakis1.md) - [Museum Street Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/piranha-tank.md) - [Illustrated Streetwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wasted-youth-x-tappei.md) - [Childlike Characters Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/childlike-characters-art-exhibition.md)
