Artist hangs giant portrait of Gaddafi opposite houses of parliament
On the 15th March as Big Ben struck 3'oclock One of London's leading young contemporary artists Johan Andersson mounted his latest portrait from his 'Stolen Faces' collection on Art Below's Plinth of Peace opposite the Houses of Parliament. The painting is a 2 meter by 2 meter oil portrait of Gaddafi. He wanted to display this piece specifically in this space in the potential build up to Gaddafi's downfall.
'It is likely the painting may get vandalised, stolen, ruined by the rain and pollution but I see this as part of the art - it symbolises Gaddafi's own demise' Johan Andersson
Johan Andersson has exhibited at the National Portrait gallery as the youngest ever to be nominated for the BP portrait award. He also recently exhibited in the V&A museum and last summer filmed a T.V series with Sky called 'Art of Survival' which is due to broadcast this summer.
Some Background about the Plinth of Peace.
In November 2010 amidst criticism from Westminster Council Art Below joined forces with Peace Strike to call upon artists to create works that inspire peace and an end to all wars to be displayed on the (2.5m x 2.55m x 1.25m) plinths situated directly opposite the Houses of Parliament.
'It is important that we put this plinth up for auction before Westminster Council destroy it' says Maria.
Maria Gallastegui, founder of Peace Strike has decided that all proceeds from the auction will go to a chidren's center in a war torn part of Iraq. 'It has good potential to heal and show that despite all the tragedy of war and the failings of mankind there are people who care and want to repair the damage in whatever way they can'
Maria has been living on Parliament square as a peace activist since 2006. In 2009 she created the first plinth with welcomed assistance at the Kew Eco village. The second one followed shortly in the Summer of 2010.
On 12th January 2011, organised by Art Below a 3m x 2m canvas of a blown up photograph by Emma Stoner was mounted on the plinth. The photograph captured one of many dramatic moments from 'democracy village' when protesters took over parliament square in Summer 2010 for almost 3 months turning the green into a tented camp.
On 19th February Artist Schoony mounted his latest piece of work on the 'Plinth of Peace' Schoony's artwork displays three boy soldiers, with words from a Wilfred Owen poem, Dulce Et Decorum Est. Schoony's background is in special effects for film and his art clearly reflects his expertise in this field. This work will be displayed until the end of March. VIEW A SHORT CLIP HERE
The parliament square protest camp has attracted a rich heritage of artists over the last 10 years with Banksy contributing to Brian Haw's campaign with stencil of two soldiers painting a peace sign and Leon Kuhn's anti-war political caricature 3 Guilty Men.
In 2007 Artist Mark Wallinger was awarded the Turner Prize for his reconstruction of The Parliament Square Peace Camp.
Now as we enter the grand finale with the dramatic back drop of the Royal Wedding, it is time for a new artist to close the curtain on the plinth of peace and give value to a good cause making this ending a positive one.

ART IN MOTION | LIVERPOOL STREET STATION | APRIL 2011
If you are an artist who has video material displaying your creative process then we would like to hear from you.
This April we are leaping across the tracks and entering the world of the digital projection screen for the first time!
'Art in Motion' explores the process of how different artists create their work and will be showcased on stunning 3 meter wide digital projection screens on the Liverpool Street tube station Central line (westbound platform) for 2 weeks from mid April.
Curated by Art Below, 'Art in Motion' will be a series of 1 minute clips showing a range of different artists actually in the process of creating their own work.
The finished work that you have created on screen will also be featurde as a billboard poster in a major London station.
The following clips are all by previous Art Below exhibitors that have made it into the 'Art in Motion' Short List. (The finalised versions that will be screened in the London Underground will be silent and no longer than one minute long. (these restrictions do not apply in the online gallery)
This is an extraordinary concept which gives you - the artist - a living window onto your particular work in progress to be viewed by London's tube travellers.
If you have clip/s that you wish to be considered for this unique 'Art in Motion' series then please email artinmotion@artbelow.org.uk with a link to the video online (ie youtube, vimeo, facebook) Deadline: 28th March 2011
If you are interested in finding out about having a clip made specially about you and your work then we would like to hear from you as well.

ARTIST Lewk Wilmshurst and his representative, Madeleine Hill,
present their long awaited exhibition of contemporary Artist Proof Prints and Multi-sensory
installation by Lewk Wilmshurst, at FREVD, Oxford, this coming April.
Lewk, a First Class graduate of Bath School of Art and Design, is currently working with his
representative to generate a hive of activity on the Oxford Art scene. The ‘TOURIST’ exhibition
is their first of many endeavours in achieving this.
The exhibition, held in a Greek Revival Church turned venue, consists of 10 Artist Proof Prints
and Multi-sensory Installation, concerning the topical subject of human’s relationship with the
natural world and thus its future.
The architectural history of FREVD, Oxford, with its temple-like, palatial atmosphere holds
a strong dialogue with Lewk’s work, in particular his fractal pattern prints and large light-box
shrine that reflect the intricate aesthetic of the stained glass windows and other religious
mandalas. With his practise pulling its influences from natural history documentaries and
contemporary environmental issues, the exhibition is looking to open a dialogue with the public
about their perspective of our natural world and their involvement with it, asking the question;
‘Have we become a ‘TOURIST’ in our own terrain?’
The work is for sale, and on display at FREVD, Oxford, from the 1st – 14th April 2011.

"Kiss My Arse" Dom Pattinson

|
The art with attitude consists of paint, collage and stencil work on large canvas pieces instead of walls, a fairly unusual base for this style of art to some extent. Incorporating the raw feel of street art, Dom captures a fun, but cheeky mood, drawing us into the reality of whit.
The work tells stories, humorous, controversial, political & sassy.
The simmering buzz around his work is slowly growing and the anticipation is setting in to see what exactly Dom is going to deliver next…

PRACTICE FOR EVERYDAY LIFE - YOUNG ARTISTS FROM RUSSIA
23 March – 29 May 2011

In association with the Institute for Contemporary Art (ICA) Moscow, and Centre for Contemporary Art - Winzavod, Calvert 22 is proud to present new work from a selection of emerging artists from Russia. This unique presentation, conceived as an annual event, aims to convey a vivid sense of current artistic practice in Russia and introduce a new generation of artists and perspectives to the UK.
The participating artists have been co-selected by Joseph Backstein (Director of ICA, Moscow and Commissioner of the Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art) and David Thorp (Calvert 22 Associate Artistic Director) and drawn from the ICA, Moscow and the prestigious START programme, established by the Centre for Contemporary Art - Winzavod in order to promote and develop young artists from across Russia.
Both the ICA, Moscow, and Centre for Contemporary Art - Winzavod, have created a unique forum and context for a discourse in contemporary art among young Russian artists that has been largely missing from the Moscow art scene previously. Beside the ad hoc relationships that usually and perhaps naturally exist between artists, there was no formal means of offering practical and ideological support to assist – especially younger - artists in developing their ideas and being able to discuss and engage with contemporary art practice more globally.
To coincide with the opening of this new exhibition, Calvert 22 has commissioned an expansive refurbishment of the main gallery spaces from newly established, upcoming architects, Feilden Fowles. Their brief was to create a more open-plan and engaging public space offering a reading area and resource hub to enrich contextual knowledge and further create opportunities for increased cultural exchange.
