Olivia Steele @ Milk!

The most exciting things in this world are temporary. Hurricanes, explosions, loves, lives, bigger explosions and other lives – all of these things and more and art – but particularly art. The reason street art has captured so many imaginations is the brevity of its display – blink and it will become replaced or removed or faded by the abrasive city environment. In light of the Frieze Art Fair, conceptual neon artist, Olivia Steele’s latest exhibition, will be off the beaten path as she has chosen to display her affection to the public, in public.


Vowing to return neon to its roots, the only gallery walls suitable to contain her work are those of the city itself. Selections from her latest collection (‘Public Display of Affection’) will be put up in connected public spaces around London, so forming a trail of art to be sought out and followed by anyone and everyone who wishes.

From East London lingerie shops to the Mile End footbridge to historic landmarks on Shoreditch High Street her artworks will become beacons spanning the city – a yellow brick road of vibrant illuminating sculpture. All locations, no matter how unlikely, will briefly host beauty; all people, no matter how divergent their concerns, no matter how disconnected their lives will be able to experience it.

You can follow her trail, and connect the dots around London, for a short time only in October and November. Please see below for participating stores:
