Studio updates from LUAP, documenting projects, exhibitions, and work in progress.
Dig My Sandy Grave, Whilst I Eat This Melting Ice Cream
LUAP returns to Cleethorpes to paint Dig My Sandy Grave Whilst I Eat This Melting Ice Cream, his largest mural to date. The piece brings his Pink Bear to the British seaside in a deeply personal work about memory, mental health and emotional presence.
LUAP's 'Hope' Mural in Shoreditch
LUAP's latest mural, Hope, now on display at Bateman’s Row in Shoreditch, measures 12m x 6m and depicts The Pink Bear slumped on a staircase with a bouquet of flowers, set against a blue background that evokes a powerful sense of emotion.
C’est Ne Pas Banana
In Notting Hill, the Pink Bear holds a banana in a new mural titled C’est Ne Pas Banana. The work combines playfulness with subtle art historical reference, inviting viewers to see the everyday with fresh eyes.
Good Vibrations in Notting Hill
Installed at 284 Westbourne Grove, Good Vibrations is a window vinyl I created as part of Kensington and Chelsea’s High Street Windows project. Featuring the Pink Bear in a forest of colour, the work explores isolation, reconnection and emotional recovery after lockdown.
Love Life in Shoreditch
My largest mural to date, Love Life, is now painted on Batemans Row in Shoreditch. Featuring the Pink Bear with love heart eyes, the work explores how we hold our life in our own hands and reminds us to live fully and with intention.
Plastic Reality
In Plastic Reality, LUAP's Pink Bear stands in Mayfair's Shepherd Market, urging viewers to reflect on the environmental consequences of our plastic-dependent society. This 2019 installation challenges the balance between artificiality and nature.
