Joseph Ford - Impossible Street Art

Beautiful new work created for JOSEPH FORD’s IMPOSSIBLE STREET ART series in collaboration with Spanish artist Antonyo Marest, whose works often reflect the influence of Art Deco and the Memphis design movement.

Antonyo’s vibrant, graphic use of colour is applied across the monochromatic canvas of a 225m brutalist dam - the Diga di Luzzone in Ticino, Switzerland, then rephotographed on location by Joseph Ford to beautiful illusory effect✨.

Phil Fisk - Inside Out / Anniah

The second in a series of a short films by PHIL FISK entitled INSIDE OUT, showing the perspective of people’s inner lives on one side of the window and that of the outside world on the other. The films are deliberately shot in portrait format to fully frame the window.

ANNIAH is a young aspiring actor, who Phil found through a local theatre group - this was her first time acting on camera.

Thanks also to Martin at The Lemonade Factory and Vic Twyman for props and set dressing 🏏!

 

Phil Fisk - Inside Out / Tina

Introducing a series of a short films by PHIL FISK entitled INSIDE OUT, showing the perspective of people’s inner lives on one side of the window and that of the outside world on the other. The films are deliberately shot in portrait format to fully frame the window.

The first features TINA, Phil’s friend and a podcaster who talks a lot about mental health, so this vignette is in harmony with how she lives her life.

Thanks also to Martin at The Lemonade Factory, Vic Twyman for props and set dressing and the amazing make skills of Corrine Robinson for Tina’s extra sparkle ✨!

Mexican textile, installation and street artist Victoria Villasana - whose work adorns gallery and city walls everywhere from London & LA to Mexico City & Guadalajara - collaborated with Joseph on a stunning textile X photography creation. “The use of embroidery is her nod to female empowerment. “Working with fabric makes me feel connected with an inner rebellious femininity.

Frankie Turner - PB&J toast

The iconic PB&J toast, captured in all its glory by FRANKIE TURNER, styling by KEIRON GEORGE.

We realise this is a controversial subject matter... (sparking lengthy debate at Flock HQ!) where there is a self-confessed "peanut butter hater", a "peanut butter purist" (no other toppings allowed) and a "no sandwicher"...!

Whatever your preference, we hope you love the impeccable photography and styling 👌✨

Joseph Ford X Denis Meyers - Impossible Street Art #1

Flock are delighted to introduce a new project by JOSEPH FORD created in collaboration with a global roster of renowned street artists.

IMPOSSIBLE STREET ART is an ongoing project showcasing “the work street artists would create if there were no limits”... in terms of scale, accessibility, safety, regulations etc, throwing open a world of potential to create work on landscape-scale vistas and inaccessible or protected sites of architectural heritage - ranging from England's Seven Sisters chalk cliffs to the Pantheon in Paris and the centre strip of a Los Angeles freeway.

Over the coming weeks we will be featuring the first 8 artworks, starting here with an image created in collaboration with Belgian typographer / 'urban artist' DENIS MEYERS, whose previous work ranges from live painting performances, skateboard and beer glass designs to painting an astonishing 25,000 m² of an abandoned building which was scheduled for demolition…

Please scroll down for a peek behind the scenes on location at the National Theatre (a grade 2 listed building designed by Brutalist architect Denys Lasdun in 1963) on London’s South Bank - plus an insight into the amazing creation process!

Please watch this space for more of Joseph’s collaborative artworks coming soon ⚡️

Phil Fisk - Allotment Eccentrics / The Alchemist

Delighted to share the 3rd and final part of Phil Fisk's beautifully crafted, atmospheric and other-worldly 'Allotment Eccentrics' series, created in collaboration with super-talented stylist Vic Twyman.

Here Phil turns his lens on potting shed alchemist Pedro (who insists his English friends pronounce it “Peyo”).

His story is told below...

Peyo has always hankered for a simple life. Originally from the Basque region of Spain but with French ancestry he has always felt like a nomad and travelled the world after university, working in bars and restaurants, gradually losing any motivation to pursue the product design he had studied for. In 2008 he was knocked off his motor bike, sustaining severe concussion and a lengthy time in hospital. A generous insurance payment bought him a period of reflection and he applied for an allotment, initially to stretch out the money and start living off the land but its appeal grew like his plants and quickly enveloped him. These new cultivation skills and constant reading inspired him to investigate the world of herbal medicine and to start making his own remedies. His back and arms still ache but his natural medicines and gentle digging are working to alleviate it. He thinks of himself as an alchemist although has no desire to create gold, just a simple ambition to use the natural properties of minerals and herbs to create change in himself and those around him.
