Anyone seen these style of painted posters around Hackney - there are also some painted mattress, I saw one in Clapton today?

Not this one but similar....


I just googled the name, out of interest - his name is Kai Olhsen and not at all like I would have imagined

He is represented by Saatchi Art and sounds quite posh from the vid clip!

Not seen those ones but I have come across other painted mattresses. This was just off Hackney Road.

I have never seen a painted mattress. I'm obviously not as hip as blossie33 and spitfire .

It is both a blessing and a curse.

So if he's just dumped them on the street are they fair game for an enterprising potential art dealer to make off with in his handily located estate car?

Or if they are they might end up covered in paint, especially if he used oils.

I'm sleeping on one.

You win in the hip stakes.

Unless it was painted by your toddler. In which case, get him down to Saatchi's ASAP...

 

[spitfire]

I sleep on a painting of a mattress.

 

[rutabowa]

I just saw one of those painted mattresses! In the alley by coach and horses on stoke newington high street. A woman was looking at it too she told me they they were doing stuff on fly posters or something too. Nice paintings.

 

[rutabowa]

I did consider dragging it home, but it would not have been worth the reaction at home, I already have a reputation for bin dipping and hoarding.

I sold a copy of hackney today on Ebay for £100, because it had a art poster in it... that's enough for me.

I recycled a big pile of those that were cluttering up the hallway in my block.

No , whereabouts ?

I can't quite remember now, it was against a wall on one of the side roads off the main road in Lower Clapton, maybe in the region on Clapton Girls Academy.

if that doesn't make you sleep peacefully like a baby I don't know what will...

 

[rutabowa]

It's still there if you want it.... on balance I thought better to leave it.

I'll be visiting Hackney Downs on a regular basis soon and am I right in thinking theres no Boris bikes around there?

Sure theres random ebikes but the stand ones would be easier to rent and more reliable.
