Street artists use airplane fuselage as canvas

By Martin Booth  Monday Mar 28, 2022

The collaborative work of three artists is due to be unveiled on Monday after days spent painting an upcycled Boeing 727 aircraft.

The colourful piece wrapping around the entire fuselage of the plane by artists Hasan Kamil, Harriet Wood aka Hazard One and Curtis Hylton includes migratory birds and flowers.

Their work is now the centrepiece of Skyline Park off Bonville Road in Brislington, the home of PYTCH – whose owner Johnny Palmer transported the airplane known as PYTCHAir to the site in 2021.

“I always wanted PYTCHAir to be a visual contribution to the Bristol creative arts scene and the perfect way to do this seemed to be to make an iconic piece of street art out of it,” said Palmer.

“I am awesomely excited about this activity – almost as much as that weird day last year when PYTCHAir almost blocked a motorway!”

From 5pm on Monday, the artwork will be officially revealed. To get free tickets, visit www.eventbrite.com/e/pytchair-artwork-private-viewing-tickets-301288440837
