Gorgeous works by Alex Chinneck

I love the urban surrealism of Chelsea College of Arts graduate, British sculptor Alex Chinneck. I also love the names of some of his works. My favourite is Take my lightning but don’t steal my thunder from Covent Garden in London (where many of his artworks reside).

Take my lightning but don’t steal my thunder
Take my lightning but don’t steal my thunder
Birth death and a midlife crisis
From the knees of my nose to the belly of my toes
Take my lightning but don’t steal my thunder

Six pins and half a dozen needles
Pick yourself up and pull yourself together
Blood sweat and tears with a twist of lemon
Under the weather but over the moon

Growing up gets me down
