Painting is already in progress and the exhibition will take place at The Boiler House, a converted warehouse on the Andrews Road industrial estate.

BRS consists of graffiti artists Four, Ders, Skyhigh, Choc and Born, who have spent a week spray-painting the walls of the warehouse to get it ready in time for the launch party tonight.

“ We are trying to do some real funky stuff with this exhibition,” Born told The Cardiffian.
