Leaping from the imagination of artist Bruce Asbestos, Mega Bunny and friends Egg Cat and Octopus took over Ipswich in October 2023. Colourful and playful, these giant inflatable sculptures could either win your heart or steal your crisps… we’re not sure which!
Bruce’s work draws from a rich history of painting, sculpture, popular culture, folklore and fairy tales. He frequently mixes everyday objects with high art, fashion, social media, video games and global pop culture.
Mega Bunny + Friends stood on the Cornhill throughout SPILL 2023. You could also see more of the Friends on the ground floor of the Buttermarket Centre, including some miniature monsters designed by Ipswich schoolchildren.
MORE ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Bruce Asbestos’ work draws from a rich history of painting, sculpture, popular culture, folklore and fairy tales. His work frequently mixes everyday objects with high art, fashion, and responds to global pop culture. Witty, seductive and extravagant; Bruce’s work feels at once both unique yet strangely familiar. His playful use of popular culture, commerce and high art puts his own personal brand firmly within the realm of participation, play and pop art.
