Posters are A2. spray paint on paper. Edition of 12. They lasted 5 days before they were taken down, one is still clinging on for dear life! 2 originals from the same edition are for sale at www.castlearts.co.uk

I have spoken to them about this so hopefully it will change. Just out of interest my work sells for between ยฃ400-1200 depending on the size/complexity
Thanks for your comments

All IMO of course....

This must give you some scope for a huge amount if ideas. Keep up the good work, can't wait to see more!

Oliver Winconek ๐ฌ๐ง Portrait Artist โข Oil Paintings , by Oliver Winconek on May 9, 2008 11:26:58 GMT 1, This is something I created a few months ago in Ashford, Kent as a response to negative feeling towards public art. Over the summer we were lucky enough to have people like Roadsworth, Brad Downey and John Atkin working on public art in Ashford. Sadly the residents just didn't get it and just had closed attitudes.
'NIMBY' created from wood, spray painted and stenciled. 2.5 x 6 mtrs
The elephant represents the fun side of contemporary art and how some can see it as a destructive force. The police are representative of the local residents trying to stop it heading towards the town and causing 'destruction'. The installation references the phrase 'An elephant in the room' whereby something this big should never be overlooked and cant possible be missed
Thanks, Oliver Winconek

I do have them but they are in a pretty bad way, wind and rain etc. It was only supposed to be a temporary piece that I thought would last a weekend maximum, people seemed to really like it though and it stayed there for 3-4 months!

Thanks for that, I always think they look so much better in the flesh, especially from the sheer size of them, photos just don't do it justice. Look out for the piece that I will be creating in Cargo's yard, London on 3rd June
