The Wacky World of Andy Hazell and his Tin Cities

Date: 
Feb 1 2011 - 10:00 - May 2 2011 - 16:30

 The acknowledged master of tin plate, Andy Hazell creates entertaining and exuberant artworks from this unassuming material.

 

Cartoon-like creations of cities, animals and characters came alive with wacky personalities, infused with Andy's unique view of the world.

Tippoo's Dog, a typically tongue-in-cheek re-mastering of the V&A's 'Tippoo's Tiger' was on display along with models of Washington, Rio and Montevideo.

 A successful public artist, Andy has worked on a number of public art commissions including a giant sugar cube for Liverpool, a globe artichoke for Frodsham and a travelling illuminated hearse.
