Raels work caught my eye when I called into his Bolton gallery. Amongst his many fans is singer/song-writer Badly Drawn Boy! Rael creates visually stunning abstract art often on a very large scale. It is refreshing and inspiring to see someone so young having the drive and ambition to make a name for himself. I love the way light changes his art from one minute to the next. Placed in natural light at the front of his studio a painting will change as the light moves across it. To me it’s like owning several pieces in one.
We decided to work on a joint project! His painting `Together we are Beautiful` is a colourful work which I think lends itself to being reproduced on a live model. With that in mind we are looking for both a male and a female who are prepared to shave their head bald in the name of art. I’m sure the male will not be a problem, but for this to really work I feel the female needs to be breathtakingly beautiful and also brave!
Finding such a model may prove difficult but she’s out there somewhere.
Stunning M&S girl Noemie Lenoir shaved her head in 2006 for the film Rush hour 3. And Sinead O’Connor revelled with her naked scalp in the eighties.
A short film will be produced alongside head shots which will be made into a very limited number of prints signed by the models, Rael and I. Fees are by negotiation and the project will take place in my studio.
