£200.00

Charles Uzzell-Edwards is a graffiti and street artist known better known by the cheeky moniker ‘Pure Evil’. His tag of a vampire bunny rabbit was bore from the artists feeling of remorse after shoot a rabbit in the countryside as a youth.

Charley explains, “I’ve always regretted this terrible deed and the idea is that the rabbit is coming back to haunt me”. He also explains the economy is such a beautifully symbol, “The great thing is, you can do it in about five seconds. If you are running through the streets of Moscow at night you can just do a quick bunny on the side of a hoarding and run away”.

He is also the son of the late Welsh painter John Uzzell Edwards. “Having Pure Evil as a nickname is a bit of a joke,” Charley confesses,”but it’s a license to have fun with dark imagery. It reflects the darkness that’s in the world right now. You can’t just ignore it and do a nice picture of a unicorn. Unless it’s a unicorn with a rocket launcher on its head.”

Taylor expressed the full gamut of human emotion in her Oscar-winning, tour-de-force performance in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Adapted from the Edward Albee stage play, the film marks the directorial debut of Mike Nichols. The story concerns an old married couple (Taylor and her real-life husband Richard Burton) who drunkenly berate each other in the company of a sexy young couple (George Segal and Sandy Dennis) visiting for the night. The film won five Oscars, including Sandy Dennis’s victory for Best Supporting Actress.
