SEE NO EVIL BRISTOL TO UNVEIL CARDBOARD ART MASTERPIECE
Bristol’s prestigious Westgate House is the latest venue addition to the See No Evil Bloc Party. On Saturday 18 August – Long Playa – hosted by local creative design agency, Epoch Design – will stage an impressive and creatively unique environment installation.
With doors opening from midday the public are invited to come along and see this amazing display, beginning from a disused building to a mass of catalytic cardboard geometrics. Over 20 local artists will enter the arena to paint, print, carve and produce individual sectors, all-in-all completing a visual collective masterpiece. The participation of youth students from Bristol’s Knowle West Media Centre and Trinity Community will also be on hand contributing their auspicious eye and steady hand to display the next generation insight of blank space. All of this will be supported by a host of DJs throughout the event.
Lewis Plummer, Head Concept Designer of SNE’s ‘Long Playa’, said: “The artists will enter this cave-like concept and apply their keen eye and multitude of styles, in a haven of complex cardboard structures built around the pillars and walls. This epic canvas has been specifically created for the very best of the artistic talent in Bristol’s creative community where they will be able to apply their imagination and interpretation to the main ‘See No Evil’ 2012 event.”
Epoch’s Head of Creative Services, Will Cleverly added: “The collaboration between Epoch, Omni Productions and Insight Media Print is a great example of what can be dreamt up when like-minded creative people come together and support projects such as ‘See No Evil’. We are really excited to be involved in such a huge project with the aim to help build Bristol’s profile. The installation highlights the potential for developing Bristol City as the number one creative and media hub outside of London, showcasing assets of creative vision and appreciation of freedom in art.”
Artists will be putting down their pens, pencils and paint at 5:30pm to embrace the final multi-faceted canvas, which will partly remain in place during the final night of ‘Westgate’ frolics that evening. Watch this space for the full list of artists and DJ’s to be confirmed in the upcoming weeks.
