Free Art at Dulwich Festival 2015

The last two weekends I have been busy putting out free art in the Dulwich Open House Art Festival. The bottles I put out had my little Ooh! character face painted on them with spray paint and stencil.  Each had a small label telling the finder that they were a free piece of art and if they liked it they should take it home.

I left some in pretty flower beds, others in Dulwich Park, one in a library, one in a graveyard, one at an East Dulwich restaurant and one at the Dulwich picture Gallery.

If you did find one of my bottles I hope you took it home with you and that you enjoy it. 

Looking and Seeing

I have been busy this week working on the face of a painting that was started some time ago.  I felt it needed a pair of brown eyes to give it more of a focus point.

I was also out and about in the City.  While there I left one of my feathers on a building and then watched the people rushing around looking at maps and routes but not really looking at the city.  I'm wondering if the feather is still there.

More Girls

The champagne bottles I painted the other week have gone out into the street as free art.  It felt odd leaving them in places as they seem to have their own personalities - a bit like saying goodbye to a child.  I then collected some new bottles to paint.  Being made of glass they are quite fragile and yet heavy to carry around so just as well some of them already have homes to go to.  

  

Spirit in a bottle

I have started a new project which came from an older project.  Last year I made a piece of work 'spirit in a bottle' that was a champagne advert with a superimposed angel face.  The new project is a collection of empty champagne bottles that I have added images to and I am thinking of putting them out as free art.
