For the Lindt Big Egg Hunt in support of the charity Action for Children, a 101 giant Easter Eggs were hidden in cities throughout the UK, and I found a couple in Covent Garden! I took pictures of my favourite ones and looked up the artists on the Big Egg Hunt website. You can bid on one of the artworks and support the charity on the website: http://www.thebigegghunt.co.uk/eggs
My Favourites
Hattie Stewart is a London-based illustrator originally
from Colchester, Essex. A self-professed 'professional doodler', her playful
style extends itself through art and fashion, working with designers such as
House Of Holland, Marc By Marc Jacobs and Adidas. Recently her notoriety has increased due to her
project 'Doodle-Bombing', where she draws over the covers of influential
fashion publications such as Vogue and i:D. Hattie has recently completed a new
project doodling on 14 vintage Playboy magazines.This was approved by Playboy
who shared the project on their facebook page. Her current work involves more
high-end collaborations.
Chinese-German artist Peter Ibruegger is best known for
his product design range of moustache mugs, sugar bowl hats and bow tie mugs
which are being sold in exclusive boutiques in more than 30 countries.
His
extended practice is focused on drawings and deals with questions of identity
and desire.
Jack Brindley is an emerging young artist living and
working in London. Currently studying Painting at the Royal College of Art,
Jack’s body of work spans painting, sculpture, photography and print.
Interested in the construction of visual and verbal languages, his work
explores how expression is generated in relation to its position in society and
culture.
His group exhibitions in 2012 included ‘Bloomberg New
Contemporaries’, ICA London and Liverpool, and ‘Dromology’, South Square
Gallery, Bradford. In 2011 he was awarded a residency by the Architectural
Foundation at the South Kilburn Studios
Cassie Howard makes paintings that examine the interaction of people within society. She is interested in the role the artist has in directing the viewer.
Cassie’s subjects are people. The figures are sometimes
paired with separate paintings of public objects such as park benches, sheds,
and rows of trees. The people and objects are always presented within a white
space devoid of any surrounding context. The viewers bring their own history to
imagine what is missing
Chris Martin spends much of his working day deleting
emails from misguided Coldplay fans, but any remaining time is spent tongue to
cheek and crayons in hand. Chris also has a vicarious fascination with notions
of friendship and love, things he is yet to experience thanks to his unwavering
dedication to his art.
His fledgling, yet already impressive career, has seen
him work for many major clients, as well as somehow managing to pick up a
D&AD Yellow Pencil along the way
Also cool
Charlie Billingham studied Fine Art and History of Art in Edinburgh and then continued his studies in Fine Art at the Royal Academy Schools. His work involves painting and printmaking, as well as making installations which use these disciplines and combine them with objects. Much of his recent work has used sections of late eighteenth and early nineteenth-century etchings by James Gillray and George Cruikshank. Charlie’s work has been exhibited and collected both nationally and internationally.
Because this is the one I wanted to unwrap the most :)
Lindor
For more than 165 years, the Swiss Master Chocolatiers from Lindt have dedicated themselves to crafting the finest chocolate. Their dedication, passion and skill have led to the creation of the exquisite Gold Bunny and Lindor truffles, amongst many other delightful chocolate experiences. Lindt believes in the magic of families and is proud to join Action for Children in The Big Egg Hunt as Headline Sponsor. This egg is a creative representation of our irresistible Lindor truffle filled egg, the perfect blissful Easter treat - sampled throughout the events
