THE HANGER ONE PROJECT: SPRAY PAINT ON PLANES
The second instalment from The Hanger One Project named 'Icarus_13' follows on from the initial project featuring 45RPM and a Learjet, this time we had to up the game...and this attempt was certainly a game upper!
Two graffiti heavy weights , going by the names of Sat One and Roids, stepped up to the challenge. Battling sleep deprivation, weather and the enormous size and scale of a Boeing 737, the two artists faced the fundamental task of working out the best way to paint a curved aluminium surface, in the wind and rain! After a few long periods of studying the confusing cylindrical shape it was time to get busy. The two artists worked day and night, fighting the weather for what seemed like a life-time, up and down on multiple pieces of access equipment, manoeuvring around the plane and the uncomfortable awareness of leaking hydraulic fluid, was not part of our 5-A-Day!
The challenge finally came to an end on a glorious spring day, Icarus_13 was complete…and here is the outcome, hope you enjoy it.
