Hell - protest art by Lucky Friday Artist in Wellington
Hell - protest art
I was asked by an environmental group to create a poster in protest against Shell Oil using seismic blasting along the coastlines in South Africa. Inside the Shell Logo are various drawings of whales and the coastline.
Lucky Friday is my artist name. I'm a graphic designer who originates from Wellington. I’ve worked across the globe for some of the largest advertising agencies on the planet as a creative director and now exploring my artistic talents. I play in the world of limited edition fine art prints, abstract landscapes, oil portraits with palette knives to large outdoor murals.
I’m inspired by Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Picasso, David Hockney & William Kentridge. In my graphic design career graffiti art, Bauhaus School of design and deconstruction influenced my career and fortunate to have won numerous international design awards for my graphic design and global advertising campaigns.
You maybe asking why the name “Lucky Friday”?
That’s a good question. It’s more to do with the amazing people I have connected with in Africa. Their names are so simple like “Precious, Lucky, Innocent, Beauty etc.” I chose Lucky Friday to represent my adopted Africanism.
I hope you enjoy the art you see and open for commissions.
