Love this mate, amazing work.

[doyle]

this is great, you are really showing how far you can take this medium and love this one!

[Replete]

Thanks all, I 'm pleased you're appreciating the development of these pieces.

[Replete]

Here's a close up shot of the R and it's tin foil elements floating in space in front of the clingfilm elements:

I think this is really REALLY good! I think a saw another one in the media/internet somewhere, but not on this forum. Liked it instantly, think it was a shark?!

Anyway, this is a really creative approach for graffiti, top job!

[Replete]

Thanks Freakin and yes it was a shark the last one I did. It's on here along with many other cingfilm ilusions I've done previously:

Yeah, I checked your website. I really like your style; cubical chaos I would describe it!
Keep up the good work!

[Replete]

Yeah that sums it up pretty well. There's more on the way very shortly.

[Replete]

Overhead shot where you can see the tin foil elements in front of the back clingfilm part. Also the shadows are painted onto the floor to increase the effect.

[Warm Gun]

These are getting better and better!

[Replete]

cheers WG. I've had some new ideas for even better ones and something very special at the end of the month.

[tobaum]

Awesome!

[Replete]

cheers very much Tobaum.

[Coach]

Awesome Replete.
Love these. Leaves me wanting to see the next one.
Excellent execution too.
Is there a way for something like this to be done on the street I wonder?

[e15makaveli]

Just another reason why i think Replete is one of the UK's finest

[Replete]

Thanks Coach and E15. There's nothing really stopping me doing these in public spaces but the main factor against is as it's on a single layer thick for max transparency it's totally susceptible to being destroyed in process by the wind or a strong breeze. I did one at the Brighton fringe a few months back but that was just on a single layer of depth.

I also prefer the abandoned spaces as they lend themselves to what I'm after and make for a good final photo.

But I will be doing some of these soon in public in just over a week but that'll be in an a very interesting abandoned spot in eastern europe and then I fly from there to Sweden to do a live installation in a night club.

Croatia sculpture



Did this series of a figure backflipping down the stairs the other week at Fort Punto Christa in an abandonded fortress in Croatia as part of the Outlook Festival.

This was a last minute idea as the original illusions on perspex I planned couldn't be done in for access reasons so I came up quickly with this spraypainted on pool lining plastic and placed on the battlements stairs.

It was lit at night so the shadows of figures were cast onto the wall but I haven't got a photo of it at night.

Painted this as a little bonus on a bit of heavy duty stage floor plastic I found at Outlook Festival:



I didn't intend it to be this dark as the sketch was quite beautiful but I think I was picking up on all the recent turmoil and attrocities comitted in the Serbo-Croatian war.

There's quite often something horrific lurking just below the thin veneer of beauty.

slackthuset door:



Painted this last week at Slakthuset club an ex slaughterhouse in Stockholm Sweden.

It's painted on the original perspex slaughterhouse doors.



This is half of a slaughter house door I painted live in Slakhthuset.

It's quickly painted in aubergine spraypaint and white marker and then scratched with my knife.

This is one of my favourite pieces of recent times as it looked so different when seen from outside with the light behind that made her look sultry and then seen from the other side she looked angry and then looked completely different again seen like this when the doors were opened into the toilets.

[freakinstyle]

Like this work! Like the depth in the red hair on the doors of Slakthuset club.
Was there a reason why you used those two figures for Slakthuset club?
This definitely gives the club an edge!

[maumau93]

lucky get goin to outlook this year had an amazing line up wi pharaoh monch who ive wanted to see for ages.
really like the peice on the door

[Replete]

Thanks fellas and those door portraits were a last minute decision as I was meant to do a clingfilm sculpture illusions of one of my origami figures riding an origami bull but that was cancelled on the day I was supposed to paint it as it was deemed a fire hazard so I had to come up with some quick ideas so i did the portraits one with red/white/blue as it was a Brittannia themed night. I did the other one live on the opposite doors to balance it out.

[Replete]

The backlit sketched live painting on the perspex doors:

[mrtee]

Very nice! Must go and have a look at the doors!

[profgyro]

So cool Replete!
The backlit painting on the door is unreal. ;D
(Also like the way you describe the painting at Outlook as a "little bonus", i'd be more than happy if someone left me something like that as a "little bonus".)
;D ;D

[freakinstyle]

Seems you have to work quite 'ad hoc' regularly, but doens't effect the result, although I woudl have loved to see another clingfilm sculpture!

[tobaum]

Really like the figure backflipping down the stairs, quality!

[Replete]

cheers guys. I do like the challenge of having to adapt quickly to changes of situations and quite have a few backup options in place for these situations.

I'll dig out the concept sketches and designs for the illusions I was supposed to paint in Croatia as they would have been quite grand if they'd got the final go ahead.

[Replete]

New one I did last week:



Kept it deceptively simple on this.

[maumau93]

doesn't look to simple to me, likin the shading work its really well blended.
nice work,
