Life's too short to be boring. DREAD ART is live art created by using the tips of dreadlocks to paint truly unique pieces of art. We are a collective of artists with one central artist providing the dreadlocks, that's me.
DREAD ART was a fun, crazy idea inspired by my dreadlocks naturally forming to resemble perfectly soft paintbrush like tips. Painting with my hair is a sacrificial gesture, because after each session my dreads must be trimmed a little!
Beginning in London and evolving in Melbourne, I'd like to travel making Dread Art and meet creative artists all over the world.
Artist David Lowe loves Dread Art for the "Exciting new concepts and techniques it introduces, and the relationships you develop through it; Every artwork becomes a wonderful collaborative activity."
As far as I know I'm the only person in the world using dreadlocks to create art!
