Working in special effects with Hollywood and the UK film industry from a young age has allowed Schoony (www.schoony.co.uk) the rare opportunity of being behind the scenes of many incredible movies such as Rambo, Clash of the Titans, Saving Private Ryan, and the latest Pixar film.
Deep knowledge of moulding and casting perfect creations of humans out of fibreglass gives him a fantastic springboard from which to launch his newfound career as a Fine Artist.

Schoony, in partnership with Graffik London (www.graffiklondon.co.uk) gallery, is proud to present an exclusive exhibition of his Boy Soldier, the wall-panel version of his debut fibreglass statue presented at last year’s Mutate Britain’s “One Foot in the Grove”. A young boy holds a grenade in one hand and the grenade’s pin in the other and reveals a breathtaking detail close to microscopic perfection.

30 of these Boy Soldiers in pure white have gone out to the UK’s top artists of the current UK and European art scene to be customised by them. The effect of 30 different versions of the same piece all in the same room will be spectacular. Graffik London and Schoony are delighted to be bringing such a heavy line-up of successful artists together under one roof, a unique occasion to be celebrated.

The show aims to gather those already familiar with Schoony’s work with existing collectors of the other big names such as Goldie, D*Face and Dan Baldwin.

The show will raise money for SHP (“preventing homelessness promoting social inclusion” www.shp.org.uk), a charity for London’s homeless people with close links to the city’s urban art movement.
Boy Soldiers will be a unique artistic event likely be the talk in town for many months to come.
