To celebrate 10 years on from the Plastiki Expedition (a boat built from recycled plastic that sailed across the pacific in 2010 creating
awareness of plastic pollution and the importance of the oceans), one of the project’s founders, Tia Grazette, has created a nationwide exhibition around living with plastic, with work from 15 artists being shown across billboards in the UK.

If you’ve been to London, Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Newcastle recently you might have seen arresting images around plastic use being shown across huge digital billboards, from soft pastel drawings of all the plastic bottles we don’t need to the rainbow-colored melted slick, named Mermaid Vomit.

Designs from 15 artists have gone up all over the UK’s billboards

NO OCEANS. NO AIR. NO LIFE By i

Artists from all over the world have taken part and include Aaron Axelrod, musician, actress, artist, and environmental advocate Lois Winstone, illustrator Todd Francis, and Tia Grazette. Each artist’s work carries the message that we’re drowning in plastic and we need urgent action, by all of us everywhere.

Keep your eye out for the plastic-free exhibition across billboards

As well as the art being displayed on billboards to remind and encourage the general public to live with less plastic, several original artworks and prints will be available to buy online including the Seawatercolour-insult-bottles series by Paul Davis and his limited edition Seawater-bottle sculpture.
