Hubbawelcome is a new collective of contemporary artists based in East London, formed by Chris Mundy and Greg Lockhart. Their work is inspired by online culture and the psychology of growing up in modern day. 

With a particular interest in social media, their pieces exhibit themes of loneliness, isolation, compulsion and death. Hubbawelcome create prints, animations and installations by collecting fragments of online culture and reconstructing them using repetition and grids. Their pieces are bold and single minded and colourful- appearing almost like ads for obscure products. They site artists David Shrigley, Andy Warhol, Banksy and Steve Power as influences. 

Having contributed to various group shows at galleries across East London including: the season ticket, the old Shoreditch station, the Hackney long white cloud and high roller society and Clerkenwell design week. Hubbawelcome previewed their first solo show 'whats the point in buying a cat when you'll just end up having to watch it die?' at the Coningsby Gallery on July 4th 2013.
