Plastic Reality
In 2019, LUAP unveils Plastic Reality, a large-scale public artwork featuring his signature Pink Bear. Displayed in Shepherd Market, Mayfair, the 8-metre by 3-metre print explores the complex relationship between humanity, plastic, and nature. The installation challenges viewers to reflect on the environmental impact of consumerism and the proliferation of synthetic materials in everyday life.
The Pink Bear, often a symbol of nostalgia and innocence, stands amidst a backdrop that juxtaposes the artificial with the natural. This contrast prompts contemplation on the consequences of replacing real wildlife with man-made counterparts. LUAP's work serves as a poignant reminder of the pressing need to address environmental degradation.
