On Thursday, July 22, fifteen of the UK's finest artists from a variety of genres convened at Red Bull's UK headquarters in Tooley Street to create a unique art project entitled Canvas Cooler.
The idea behind the project was to customise a selection of specially canvas wrapped fridges, which once completed will be exhibited in a selection of bars in east London.
The calibre of artists taking part in Canvas Cooler was second to none, with talent from street, spray, design illustrators, sculptors and fine art genres making their way to the specially converted exhibition space in SE1.
The list of participants on the day was as follows: -
Serge Seidlitz, Inkie, Eine, Toaster, Yehrin Tong, Dave White (pictured above), Mister Batlow, INSA, Discoteck, Alfa, Jethro Haynes, Jennifer Crouch (pictured below with Discoteck), Miss Led, Mr Gauky, and Rif.
A further five artists completed their contrubutions from their own studios, as they were unable to attend on the day. Copyright, Chrissy Abbott and Sam Coldy were three such artists.
Canvas Cooler kicked off at 10.30am and the artists worked through the day to create their own unique pieces of work and by 5.30pm the first examples were ready to display.
The now messy artists' workshop was transformed into a gallery space where 80 friends, fans and family of the participants were the first to see the end results.
To see the designs for yourself, take a walk up Kingsland Road from Shoreditch to Dalston and you will be able to see one of these very special creations in each of the best bars along the route.
Red Bull would like to thank all of the artists involved in Canvas Cooler and also the following for making it happen: Zero Cool Gallery, Debut Art , Monorex, Stitch That TV, Over it & Co and Ekua King.
