Miracle Of Colours by Nilofar Niri and Nursery Children
By Nilofar Niri herself:
“This picture is a collaboration between me and nursery children. They are from international backgrounds, with different skin colors.
When they started painting there were too many children and just a few brushes but amazingly without anyone tell them what to do they started using their hands instead of brushes and they managed to play without fighting for short periods of time and they were so happy. I think in a sweet way, it is a small example of truce.”
Nature and Its Mother by Apple Custard Studios
Nature & Its Mother was produced, to visually communicate how ‘Man’ and ‘Nature’ can coincide together to produce raw beauty. Playing off the phrase ‘Mother Nature’, the depiction is to aid against crimes against nature e.g. Logging, Littering, illegal waste disposal.
This work was submitted by a professional studio. The artist’s age is 23.

“Look out for these dissected and reassembled phone boxes, dotted around the Olympic Park. As works of sculpture, they are eye-catching, bold and oh-so-London. But a closer inspection reveals that they’re more than simply shuffled kiosks.
Each contains tiny raised writing around the window frames, giving historical background to the immediate surroundings. By ‘historical’, we’re not talking major battles or the coronation of kings, but the recent industrial past of the site, now swept away by Olympic developments. For example:
From this spot could once be seen the legendary Fridge Mountain of Hackney Wick. This local landmark – a precarious pile of steel, white plastic and insulating foam — was one of Europe’s largest dumps of discarded refrigerators.”
