We at Pimlico Wilde like to help finance the best of contemporary art. We helped Stevana Yipp create her Ballet de Cranes, in which for one night only, all the cranes on the London skyline turned, lowered and raised their loads in unison. Centuries ago we helped Charles II create a range of Oak Tree keyrings to commemorate his father’s love of hiding in oak trees. In 1460 we even paid for the Channel between England and France to be momentarily drained in an act of one upmanship between artists fighting the War of The Roses.
But artist Polly Romanesque is seeking funding for an art project that needs a level of funding that we are unable to provide, so we appeal here for any philanthropists to help Polly achieve her dream.
”My medium is Bentley cars,” Polly says. “I create 64×64 grids made up of different coloured Bentleys. When this is photographed from a passing hot air balloon overhead, the effect is an automotive sprite – pixel art made from cars.
“Unfortunately, each image requires 64×64 Bentleys, which is 4096 Bentleys. At current costs that will set me back around £800,000,000 per artwork. For my exhibition I would like to have ten pictures, so I will need £8,000,000,000, plus fuel and insurance for each Bentley.
“I have recently inherited some money, but unfortunately I still require more to make these unique artworks. If any billionaires could help with the odd £8 billion I’d be very grateful.”
Any billionaires who can help Polly create her Bentley art are asked to contact her directly.
