Alex Chinneck

[3] Shortly after college, he was granted a Gilbert Bayes award by the Royal Society of Sculptors to help in his transition to professional practice, following which he collaborated with Conrad Shawcross on his work.

[8][9] Subsequent works include Take my Lightning but Don't Steal my Thunder (2014), a building located in Covent Garden designed to appear as if it floated in the air, and A Pound of Flesh for 50p (2014), a house on Southwark Street made from 7,500 paraffin wax bricks which slowly melted.

[13] Titled A bullet from a shooting star, the sculpture forms part of The Line, London’s first dedicated public art walk, which also features work by Anthony Gormley and Anish Kapoor.

The following year, in Italy, the artist created the same feat on a larger scale, unzipping the walls and floor of a seemingly historic Milanese building for Milan Design Week.

[15] For his most recent public intervention, Alphabetti Spaghetti (2019), the artist has tied a series of traditional red pillar post boxes into knots.
