Art & Lego

February 22 2012, 08:23



A weekend spent with 1200 lego people. Up went the tunes and we got to work... well we say work but it was nothing but fun. The work depicts the wide demographic of people who all share one thing in common - paying tax. Still,  if paying tax isn't particularly enjoyable at least making Art about it certainly is.

Join the revolution... we are rolling over 3000 dice for our latest installation.
3010 dice, each rolled individually creating a sea of seemingly random patterns. This piece represents the entrepreneurial spirit of life and taking risks. The idea that everyone has the chance to 'roll the dice' in life is represented by the process in which this piece is being made. Each set of dice will be rolled by different people spanning man different backgrounds. It is the outcome of these rolls which will dictate the arrangement of

From Models to Millennium

Here at acrylicize HQ we love making models. Not only do we get to transport ourselves back to those really fun art classes at school where you got to makes things out paper mache etc, but model making really helps you to understand how something will look and feel when complete... and essentially whether it will work. For our recent work at the Millennium Stadium we put this process into action making miniature versions of the ideas we proposed. Not only was this

Hugo Nowhere // James Burke

What is Hugo Nowhere?
Red Tape Man or Hugo Nowhere as he was later named was commissioned by Esselco LLP for permanent installation at Warnford Court, a stones throw from the bank of England on Threadneedle street. He is a life size London Banker taped to the wall with his own 'red tape'.

What does it mean?
Hugo represents the mood of the nation towards the banking industry at the time.
