Gromit Unleashed 2 sculpture trail - Bristol 2018

Lou Boyce artist with Marshall from Gromit Unleashed 2 - Bristol 2018

Design commission to paint ‘Marshall’ the fire pup from the tv show Paw Patrol!

In Gromit Unleashed 2, Nick Park’s Academy Award®-winning character Gromit returned to Bristol for his second starring role, but this time he was not alone; the loveable pooch was joined by his pal Wallace and arch nemesis Feathers McGraw!

This trail featured over 60 giant sculptures designed by high-profile artists, designers, innovators, and local talent. Sculptures were positioned in high footfall and iconic locations around Bristol and the surrounding area, making the perfect family day out around Bristol and beyond.

Marshall spent the summer of 2018 overlooking Chew Valley lake in North Somerset. He later went on to appear in the Gromit Unleased 2 exhibition before being sold for a massive £16,500 at the Grand Appeal’s fundraising auction!

Shaun in the City sculpture trail - Bristol 2015

Designed and painted ‘King of the Carnival’ for the 2015 Shaun in the City sculpture trail!

In 2015 Aardman’s classic character Shaun the Sheep starred in Shaun in the City, two unique arts trails across both Bristol and London raising funds for critically ill children across the country.

A whole host of artists and designers from the worlds of art, fashion, film and animation came together to create 120 giant sculptures of Shaun which decorated iconic locations and green spaces in and around both Bristol and London, raising over £1 million in just one night at auction.

The ‘King’ spent the summer of 2015 in the centre of Queen Square in Bristol! He then made an appearance at London’s Covent Garden and Bristol’s Cribbs Causeway trail finale exhibitions before being auctioned off for £4,600 at the Grand Appeal’s fundraising auction!
