After Gromit Unleashed (1) - 14 September 2017

nobody@ipernity.com (John Oram) — Thu, 14 Sep 2017 21:39:37 +0000

Four years after the public art event 'Gromit Unleashed' in Bristol, I came across one of the Gromits at the AV8 Restaurant, Cotswold Airport. 'Grosmos' by Bristol artist Cheba was bought by Cotswold Airport for an eye-watering but extremely generous £28,500.

I have previously followed up Southampton's 'Go! Rhinos' and 'Zany Zebras' [both qv] and was very pleased to make this fortuitous discovery.

'Gromit Unleashed' is a public art event to be held in Bristol over the summer of 2013. It is in aid of the Bristol Childrens Hospital. 80 Gromits around Bristol and further afield have been decorated by celebrities and will be auctioned at the end of the event. On our main Gromit hunting visit to the city photography was difficult because it was the school holidays and the character is rather more attractive to parents and children than (the Southampton) rhinos. This example is 'The Green Gromit' decorated by Zayn Malik on display at The Mall, Cribbs Causeway.

Displayed outside during the day, the sculpture has to be locked up overnight.

I would not normally post a picture with visible evidence of a fence or similar structure but this is included for effect to emphasise the predicament of this Gromit.
