Francis Terry - The Leake Street Classicist, 1st April 2010

On the 1st of April Architect Francis Terry, son of Quinlan Terry entered the unfamiliar territory of ‘Banksy’s Tunnel’ in London’s Leake Street to spend the whole day treating the graffitied walls as a classical facade.

Using his knowledge of Renaissance ornament and proportion he attempted to bring harmony and order to the chaos and confusion.

This was the first time that a qualified chartered architect has done ‘a piece’ in the Leake Street tunnel. Available to view here

Turbocharged Neoclassicism at RIBA

'The Three Classicists' Ben Pentreath, George Saumarez Smith and Francis Terry have been having a good month of it, what with their well received exhibition at the RIBA and a sold-out lecture chaired by RIBAJ editor Hugh Pearman. But they had one more trick up their well-tailored sleeves: rolling those sleeves up and making a giant collaborative wall drawing over the course of just one day. See film clip here

Breathe life into our Facebook group and win a poster space on the on the London Underground to show your work.

It may have come to your attention recently that Facebook are either upgrading the old facebook groups into the new design, or they will be 'archived'.

Well this has come as 'a big smack in the face' for Art Below who have had a facebook group since 2006 and have gradually built a healthy and active following of a few thousand. Now, thanks to Facebook 'archiving' our group we have a group of exactly 10 members!! So First of all I want to say a genuine 'thank you' to those 10 dedicated members for hanging on in there.

So in an attempt to claw our way back and to co-inside with Social Media Week, we have decided to launch a new initiative to breathe life and love into this once powerful mother ship of social media! For every 1000 new members, Art Below will award 1 free poster space (1m x 1.5m) on the London Underground. To grab a chance of winning that poster space, simply become a member of the Art Below facebook group and upload a piece of your own artwork onto the Wall. We are open to all creative backgrounds including design, fashion, illustration, sculpture, photography and any other ones that I've missed out.

For every 1000 new group members we will set a loose theme, starting with the theme of THE DIGITAL AGE. Here's one I did earlier! We will take into account how many 'likes' each image gets, but it wont be the central deciding factor that will persuade our judges (to be announced) if you are the winner. As well as being awarded a 1 meter x 1.5 meter poster space in a London Underground station for 2 weeks to show your work, you will also receive a A2 lambda print of your winning design, you will be announced as the winner on www.artbelow.org.uk, on our media partners sites including ArtLyst.com, and ArtRabbit.com and of course on the Art Below facebook group site!
