[Replete]

thanks guys. That one is going for a look somewhere between melting wax and flesh.

Here's a commission I recently painted in sprypaint on canvas:

[Replete]

Did this new cling film sculpture the other day in a derelict factory as part of my ongoing series and is entitled Riding The Shark:



It's painted on several layers of clingfilm and an old fire door spread various depths that when viewed from a correct angle the image of an origami shark and it's rider are formed.

Here's a short clip showing the layout of the work's elements in relation to each other:




Some other new ones:



She Came In Through The Bathroom Window



A quick one with my TPN crew mates Pryme and Crie.
And another quick on by me:

here's a series of photos showing the layout:

interesting stuff Replete! Not sure if I think they are beautiful, but it's fascinating material.. did you come up with this yourself? I can imagine it takes some struggling to master this material. Love it when you see artists exploring new things.

[Replete]

Thanks Jokop I'm much more happy creating interesting works than beautiful but I do find these beautiful if somewhat ominous.

Painting on wrapping probably started around over 5 years ago with Astro and Kanos in France but a few others are also doing it too now and again.

It started as creating a temporary wall substitute to paint on by fixing several layers thicknesses of industrial wrap between two fixed points such as trees or lamp posts and then paint a traditional graffiti piece on it:



What I'm the first to do is see the material for it's transparent quality and to use multiple layers positioned at various depths in relation to each other in order to allow me to paint objects/characters that seem to be interacting with or floating in a derelict environment and illusions that form when seen from the correct viewing point:





Unlike others I paint on a single layer thickness of the much thinner standard kitchen cling film that is incredibly fragile which adds all sorts of problems as it'd be so easy to tear the film at any point and would be likely to ruin the whole piece and require it to be scrapped.

I'm currently experimenting with combining other household materials to take the idea forward in new and unique ways that have never been done before.

[Dellboyy]

Still liking these installations, really novel idea... love the shark!

[tobaum]

This is sth special. Very interesting.
Can't wait to see more.

[fuzzed]

Yeah these really are brilliant Replete! Great work as always.

[balibob]

Absolutely effin fantastic mate

[hunter007]

Very cool, love the one on the stairs

[saint]

love the shark, very clever.

[Replete]

thanks fellas and I think you'll like the next step in the evolution of these sculptures. Just been buying some materials today to build them.

[Warm Gun]

Chuffing good stuff there Replete, looking forward to seeing the next thing you've got planned!

[Replete]

these are very nice, would love to see one in the flesh.... and can't wait to see what you find in your kitchen next!

[Replete]

cheers Reptonic.

[Coach]

These are really superb Replete.
It's refreshing to see something so new.
I bet they make great shadows too!

[mojjac]

That clingfilm stuff is wicked.

[Coach]

Doh, hadnt realised that the girls and the tail were seperate, until I watched the film - even better!! Great work Replete.

[Replete]

thanks guys and yes Coach they do form cool shadows like on the one painted on the window but sometimes I actually paint in the shadows to get the best effect like on the one bursting in through the window.

Another illusionary installation by me painted in a derelict factory in Leeds evolving the idea further and using several new houshold materials:



Spraypainted on several layers of clingfilm and tinfoil showing two hands holding an origami letter R.

Below is a short clip showing how it's elements are laid out:

very cool piece

[bunnyboy]

This looks amazing - I'm really enjoying these pieces. Would love to see one in person.

[Dan Kitchener]

yeh this is really interesting, you can create some amazing depth with this, although seeing it in person would be the best way to view, great stuff
