This week, Electric Gallery is excited to spotlight one of our boldest voices – Real Hackney Dave. Known for his witty, subversive screenprints and iconic use of found imagery, Dave Buonaguidi returns with a selection of new limited edition prints, as well as some rare treasures found in the vaults of Electric Gallery. Whether you're a long-time fan or just discovering his work, now’s your chance to add a slice of East London attitude to your walls.
Who Is Real Hackney Dave?
Real Hackney Dave (a.k.a. Dave Buonaguidi) is a printmaker and creative based in East London. Famed for blending vintage maps, postcards, and found ephemera with punchy, provocative text, his work explores themes of place, identity, and modern life with humour and heart. His limited edition prints are instantly recognisable – and highly collectible.

Framing Options
To make collecting even easier, we offer bespoke framing on all Dave Buonaguidi prints. Choose from three professional-grade styles: float, trapped, or window. For most Buonaguidi editions, float framing is the recommended option as it best highlights the artwork’s unique edges and textures.
Frames are available in black, white, or light oak wood, with black being the preferred choice for complementing Dave’s bold colour palettes and vintage materials.
