Noel Fielding Art

Fans of the Mighty Boosh, and Noel Fielding in particular, might be curious to hear about an exhibition of his art works that opened recently—in a Soho patisserie, of all places.

The artist and comedian paid homage to singer Bryan Ferry with some of his paintings in a series sub-titled “Bryan Ferry vs. Jelly Fox” and handed out Ferry masks to the first 100 visitors to the exhibition. He also played badminton in the street outside and was seen sporting a variety of outfits and pancake face makeup.

Whatever he’s on, I want some.

The paintings themselves are quite interesting. Very bright, quirky, bold and I would imagine quite saleable. The works are available for purchase through his art dealer and I imagine they will sell like hotcakes—or maybe just cakes? They are in a patisserie after all.
