In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Dave Buonaguidi (@RealHackneyDave)
Dave Buonaguidi (aka Real Hackney Dave) is best known for his bold, witty, and thought-provoking screen prints that blend vintage imagery with striking typography.
Drawing from his background in advertising, Buonaguidi combines humour, social commentary, and nostalgia to challenge conventional ideas of art and communication.
He often uses found materials, such as old maps or postcards, overlaid with vivid, hand-pulled slogans that create a playful contrast between past and present. His works explore themes of identity, consumerism, and the power of words, making them instantly recognisable and engaging.
Dave has exhibited widely across the UK, earning a reputation for his distinctive style that bridges pop art and street culture with clever, irreverent energy.
