Contemporary Artist, London, UK : Piran Strange

Home / Achievements

As the genius once said: 'You’re going to women? Don’t forget your whip!' I have never spared the whip with my Muse, as my achievements and dwarf like disciples can testify. You, naturally, if you have managed to adjacentise yourself with the spirit of life as I have, can judge as you see fit. Of course you could, as the infamous Lady in Wanting of the Royal something or other once said, 'Piran, everytime I gaze at your canvasses I marvel at your genius. You must paint something on them some time.' But that of course assumes you have an ace in your hole, which I am sure you do not? Anyway, below find old and new and as yet to be born in blood pantaloons achievements from my already over welcome stay. Updated whenever I can bare it - if you know anything I don't know, let me know.

1982

Venomous spider installation piece in Galerie LeClerc, Toulouse (exhibition closed after legal action). Not my fault, allegedly.

1984

Short-listed for role as artistic advisor on both Wham! video for Last Christmas and Frankie Goes To Hollywood video for The Power Of Love, but projects abandoned due to conflict of interest.

1986

Sporty Boys Make Butter display at University of Loughborough. Sportingly received by all the girls in attendance.

1988

Seoul Soul Sole – fishy-based installation piece produced to coincide with Olympic Games in South Korea and commemorate the lancing of my pen friend's boil.

1990

Goodbye Maggie – blood and shrapnel-based installation piece. “Remarkable” –Todays Newspaper, which says what you want it to say, nothing more nor less.

1991-1994

Time spent in souks in Morocco, Tangiers, Northolt, and Tunisia - has anyone seen my cat, Pimpernel? He has a bald spot and a dysfunctional tail. I hope he is being fed on the milk of human kindness. PS He likes to be hear Rimbaud when stroked.

1995-2005

Whereabouts unknown due to amnesia and other dubious medical issues. Heart of Darkness. You get the picture.

2006

My website born! I am coming out! Ecce homo! Look Ma, I'm laughing!
