Patio Project #3: Lucy May | Three Hundred Pounds of Heavenly Joy

WW’s Patio Projects #3: new public sculpture from artist Lucy May.

Inspired by the many kebab shops and Turkish Ocakbasi in the local area, Three Hundred Pounds of Heavenly Joy is a wry celebration of that iconic symbol of low culture, the doner kebab.

Lucy May’s works are fantastical hybrids of consumerist materiality and decorative style, portraying a grotesque yet seductive vision of the world. Signifiers of bad taste and low culture are fused with the grandeur and excess of the Baroque. The work revels in the tension between high art and vulgarity.

Private View with Free Mulled Wine & Lollipops for early birds! Thursday 1st December 6-9pm (6- 7.30 at Patio Projects; 7.30 – 9pm at Three Sisters Pub)
