New Zealand, Auckland: May 28, 2011: Red Bull Wreckers Yard



Red Bull Wreckers Yard 

16 of the best graff artists from New Zealand have been hand-picked to display their artistic flair, whilst spraying against the clock. In the Wellington and Auckland qualifier, eight graff artists will be provided with just a blank canvas and cans of spray paint to do their thing.

Each round will be based on a theme, given to the competitors a minute out from the start of the round. Some examples of themes could include greed, nature or fear. The artists will then have to spray according to the theme.

As the rounds progress, the canvas gets smaller, pushing the boundaries of creativity as each artist showcases their artistic interpretation and speed needed to be a Red Bull Wreckers Yard champion. 

The winners from each New Zealand qualifier will battle it out for the podium with the best from across the ditch at the Red Bull Wreckers Yard Trans Tasman Final, held on 25 June at the Evelyn Hotel in Melbourne.

The Wellington qualifier featured: BMD, Drypnz, Editor, GHSTIE, Juse 1, Kerb, Kiran X and Yelz, 

The Auckland qualifier features: Cinzah, Cracked Ink, Enu, Gasp, Liam Moore, One Kame, Peepshow and Stray

Neighbourhood Bar, Kingsland, Auckland, Saturday 28th May, 7pm, Free Entry.
