Steve Lazarides and Wissam Al Mana Launch Lazinc Gallery in Mayfair with JR Exhibition
Steve Lazarides, known for representing Banksy and championing street art, is partnering with collector Wissam Al Mana to establish a flagship gallery in London's Mayfair district. The two-story, 370-square-meter space will debut on January 12, 2018, with an exhibition by artist and photographer JR titled 'GIANTS – Body of Work photographer.' This new venture follows the rebranding of Lazarides' previous gallery to Lazinc, which now operates multiple locations: the main West End site, the Lazinc Banksy Print Gallery at Southbank, and an e-commerce print sales business in Greenwich. The announcement was made on November 30, 2017.
