2/4 Add to Cart Lucy Sparrow at The Standard, Bangkok Mahanakhon

Are you ready to Add to Cart? Get artsy at The Standard, Bangkok Mahanakhon for a display of felt art installations by Lucy Sparrow, one of the most exciting and original artists working in the UK today. She mainly focuses on contemporary art craft setting the agenda for textiles within the urban art scene. Working with felt and wool, she creates life-sized replicas in addition to oversized soft versions of existing objects. The artist has unveiled Tampa Fresh Foods, a 3,000 sq ft hypermarket filled with over 50,000 felt groceries, a Cuban sandwich bar and humidor that went viral on tiktok, creating hour-long queues and global coverage. And McDonald’s even tapped her to create McHappiness—a fully functioning felted burger restaurant and homage to the golden arches.
