New limited-edition signed prints are dropping at Fiksate Gallery every month, but you’ll have to be quick to get your hands on one.

Pick up a piece of New Zealand urban art history with the Fiksate x M.K. Press Risograph limited edition print release series. Each month, Fiksate is releasing a new A3 print, each featuring the work of New Zealand’s best urban artists, and there are only 20 copies available. They’re about to release their fourth print out of twelve, and so far they’ve all been incredible.

Fiksate has already sold prints by Dr. Suits (Christchurch), Elliot O'Donnell (Auckland/USA) and Meep (Christchurch). The next print is due to drop on August 5, and features the work of TOGO, New Zealand’s most infamous street artist. TOGO’s garnered a reputation for his defiant acts of vandalism. Even if you don’t realise it, you will have seen TOGOs larger-than-life tag, on a background of pastel pink, in impossible spots all around the country.

Last month’s work by Meep “Hip-hop raised me” reflected current discussions of racism happening world-wide, especially New Zealand’s history of racism against Pacific people. Meep says the print highlights “the major role that Hip Hop has played in a lot of marginalised groups to use their voice and express creativity, in particular Māori and Pacifica, who use the art form and incorporate their own heritage and culture into it.” The artist chose to done half of her share of sales to the Yemen Children’s Crisis through Unicef.

Fiksate is also currently hosting work by Auckland-based Levi Hawken, who’s produced striking concrete sculptures, merging his graffitti letterforms with a touch of Brutalism. He’s also created super-striking concrete wall tiles, some of which he mounted around Auckland city.

We’re loving the focus on putting local artists up alongside national and international talent at Fiksate. It’s a spacious, specialist urban contemporary art gallery, right here in the heart of Ōtautahi. Fiksate art is fine with a raw side and speaks to the Christchurch streets, showcasing artists tied in with the graffiti and urban art scene. It has an extensive online shop, so it’s a great place to pick something up to immortalise the ever-changing Christchurch street art scene.
