B:spoke follows up 'Cans' with new Galleries work
b:spoke has followed up the success it enjoyed with Andy Warhol's ‘Cans’ for National Galleries of Scotland, with a new installation at the venue.
The Musselburgh-based-company has created three large scale pictures which have been suspended on the side of the National Galleries of Scotland building on Princes Street.
The will promote The Discovery of Spain exhibition featuring works by artists including Picasso, El Greco, Goya and Velazquez at the venue.
In 2007, 3x4m replica Campbell Soup tins were created by the company to surround the pillars of the National Gallery for the Andy Warhol Exhibition, the National Galleries approached b:spoke to build the 3 huge 3m x 4m picture replicas.
The huge pictures were created in the b:spoke workshop using specially designed fixings, so that the pictures appear to be suspended in mid-air.
The complete project was developed in-house from its inception to the final unveiling.
