Phlegm for the Royal Opera House, London, by HangUp on Sept 14, 2014 14:26:33 GMT 1, It was a busy summer for Sheffield- based artist Phlegm, who after a short but prolific visit to Djerba for the Djerbahood Project (covered here), is back and busy painting in UK. His most current work is an outdoor installation done for the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, on view till the 28th September.
The sculptural piece covers the piazza entrance of the building and strikes with the delicateness of the lines and intricate detailing. In Phlegm's words, it is a blend of 'my own mythology and that of Prometheus and Leda and the Swan'.
If you have a chance, go and see it, it's a delight! All images via the artist.

Phlegm for the Royal Opera House, London, by Dibbs 45 on Oct 11, 2014 10:16:13 GMT 1, Some nice original etchings from Phelgm inside. Unfortunately this installation outside has gone now. These photos were taken a few weeks ago yet I think the works are still there. Photo quality not good as there was light coming from every angle, so they will not do them justice. Apologies.

Thanks, Dibbs 45. Really wish he would release these etchings in an edition. Cheers alittle. Yep they are pretty amazing. I was meant to phone them to see if they are for sale, but didn't round to it. I'm sure Deliotte are the owners though and they are not for sale. |

"As part of the collaboration with the Opera house this month I produced all my preparatory sketch work as copper etchings. The set of nine are displayed in the opera house link between my outdoor sculpture and indoor mural. All nine are influenced by the Greek myths, Prometheus and Leda and the swan.
At the moment the only prints done are these copies. I'm really busy still this year, and because all my printing is done by hand myself i don't have time to do a run of any of these plates right now. If you want adding to my email list just email me at phlegmcomic@gmail with the subject prints. In the new year I'll look into doing something with these plates.
I'm still using my spare time working on the edition of etchings i mentioned earlier this year. I'm being ruthless with the quality so its taking longer than normal. I still have painting projects I'm juggling but i promise I'll release this before the year ends."

Phlegm for the Royal Opera House, London, by HangUp on Oct 12, 2014 15:49:52 GMT 1, Thank you for the photos dibbs:) It's a shame the work is not there anymore, it was one of the best thing Phlegm has done for a while. We also quite liked his collaboration with David de la Mano for the Empty Walls Festival in Cardiff (photo below). Interested to see what he will do for Moniker 2014 this year.

Apart from talking to a few people it was non stop.
he's a hard worker mr ph - working on the exterior overnight towards the end. The outside took two shifts it took 11:00 till 02:00 the first 11:00 till 05:30 the second and he never stopped the whole time. Apart from talking to a few people it was non stop. |

Phlegm for the Royal Opera House, London, by nrgball on Oct 19, 2014 18:25:23 GMT 1, I would assume that either the opera house or the national gallery will keep it. Seems more like the national gallery since they commissioned the event.
