This triptych is the first in a series of paintings by artist/designer Stu MacKay, titled ‘UK INVASION’, that explores the relationship between British classic popular culture, science fiction, institution and design - whilst questioning the ownership of visual imagery. The first painting in this series was ‘PHONE HACKED’ (a metamorphosis between a telephone box and a ‘Dalek’) which was designed and painted at the beginning of 2011 and entered into the Royal Academy of Arts summer show that March. The final painting got though a couple of selection panels before being rejected - months before the phone hacking scandal hit the world news that summer. A local South-East London dark-blue TX1 taxi was used for the photographic study for the design of ‘GRAND THEFT AUTO’. ‘JOY RIDE’ was designed using a photographic study of a #11 route-master bus, taken at The London Transport Museum (whom we gratefully thank). Each painting was produced on 20” x 30” canvas with acrylic paint.       Back to top ABOUT THE ARTIST...   STU MACKAY (Fine-Artist / Graphic Designer / Photographer ) An artist/designer with a commitment to using his creative flair in a wide range of artistic productions.
