Move and Sketch at Newport Street Gallery

Friday 23 January 2026 2025 | 13:00 - 15:00

Trapped in Zone One are hosting a physical meets creative activity with a walk at Newport Street Gallery exploring and sketching their new collaborative exhibition 'Triple Trouble' by Shepard Fairey, Damien Hirst, and Invader,

The aim of our session is to improve confidence in walking on a more regular basis, boost mental wellbeing and give participants safe opportunities for social interaction. By hosting this session will aim to merge creative medium of sketching on the move engaging with participants, who are often inactive, make physical activity part of their daily routine exploring greenspaces in London.

Background to Triple Trouble

Newport Street Gallery, in association with HENI, presents an exhibition uniting three disruptive artists: Shepard Fairey, Damien Hirst, and Invader. This unprecedented show, curated by Connor Hirst, features a dynamic mix of individual works alongside bold new collaborations, many of which will be revealed to the public for the very first time.

Spanning painting, sculpture, installation, and mosaic, the exhibition explores the intersections of contemporary art, street culture, and pop iconography. Fairey, Hirst, and Invader have combined forces to create a series of hybrid works that defy categorisation while amplifying their shared fascination with repetition, symbols, and cultural icons.

This ambitious exhibition, which spans all six gallery spaces at Newport Street Gallery, celebrates both the individuality of each artist and the synergy that emerges when their practices collide. Visitors will encounter familiar motifs – Fairey’s OBEY iconography, Hirst’s spots and cabinets, Invader’s space mosaics – reconfigured in provocative and playful ways that challenge the boundaries between fine art and street culture.

Show highlights include: collaborative Spin Paintings and spot artworks merging Hirst’s iconic techniques with Fairey’s politically charged graphics and Invader’s pixelated interventions; Rubik’s Cube mosaics reimagined in large-scale panels featuring subjects from science and music to counterculture figures presented alongside Fairey’s mixed media works; as well as tanks, pill cabinets, and lightboxes that blend Hirst’s clinical precision with the irreverence of Invader and Fairey’s street art. Also on show is a never-before-seen mural transforming Newport Street Gallery into a collision of fine art tradition and urban visual language.

Undecided? Check out some of the feedback from participants from previous workshops:

'It improved my wellbeing, it made me feel happier and calmer. Being outdoors in the sunshine and fresh air, paying attention to my surroundings, being in the moment.'

'This event has enabled me to do more walking than usual. People have been very kind and someone always walked with me even though quite slow. Very grateful to everyone at Trapped in Zone One. Have been to a few events now but originally found whilst scrolling for something to do on eventbrite.'

'My mood is uplifted and feel glad to enjoy afternoon outside.'

'It was fun to sketch and learn about the history. It was really mindful. Learning about the history of Tower Bridge and of course observing the little details and drawing from top of the tower. Also, meeting people and finding these great pockets of communities around London.'
