ILLUMINARTI 2020 - A CONSPIRACY OF ARTISTS

Individual works

We trying to take a step away from your popular “Street Art: to create something unique and not so time consuming.
We are focusing on a series of wall works that will be cut into shapes. These will be spaced from the walls with blocks.
Think giant insects weta, tiki, fungi, organic shapes, birds.
Think layers and layering, a series of birds mounted and overlapping each other for example.
Think cut outs

The substrate.

12mm treated plywood that we will supply.
Once we ascertain your involvement and wall you can send us through a shape outline for cut out.

You can arrange to cut your own shape prior if you are handy !

The Size:

Some pieces can be full sized sheets 1200 x 2400 .
Some are larger walls and will be 2 x sheets.
Most will be half sized sheets. (Say 1200 x 1200 as a half size)

Smaller series of works:

We will have a series of giant skateboard shapes which will be approx. 1200 by 400 – These will hang together and will be multiple artists.

Larger works /murals

There is one wall which will be a collaborative mural. The space to paint in this will be approx. 5000 x 3000. It has mural director Sam Allen assigned to this wall.
