London: Alex Chinneck car installation

February 21, 2015 butterfly

Hackney-based artist Alex Chinneck created an illusionary public installation titled Pick Yourself Up and Pull Yourself Together. Located on a car park in London SouthBank, a Vauxall Corsa looks suspended in the air over 4.5 meter high upside down on a wave-shaped portion of tarmac that seems peeled back from the ground and folded back on itself.

London: dran – Public Execution (Part II)

February 16, 2015 butterfly

Ideally located in Soho between a sex shop, a pub and a primary school, the dran show ‘Public Execution’ is evolving on a daily basis. Last week opening (covered here) saw crowds facing white empty walls with spray painted frames .

As mentioned on Pictures on Walls website, the exhibition is a ‘live’ masterclass in ‘spontaneous creativity’ happening in ‘real time’ and the show is being created from scratch. Lucky ones can even manage to see dran in action.

Colourful background walls were painted overnight and every time we pop in, we can witness new witty characters being painted: a farmer’s revolution on a football pitch, an arachnophobe Spiderman, a sad clown painted upside down, a maid sweeping a flow of question marks, a flower pot ‘loading’ and growing by the day…
