Next month's Gravy Mercedes show will be William Child's first-ever solo exhibition, inviting you into his irreverent yet light-hearted world of politicians, celebrities, sports personalities and musicians, brought to life through plasticine sculpture and set design.

 

His vibrant body of work, produced entirely over the past four years, includes pieces for major brands including BT Sport, Reebok Classic, Old Spice and HUF, spanning individual sculptures, animated video projects and meticulously crafted props.

 

Child has also produced sculptures and full music videos for a selection of major US musicians, from PartyNextDoor & Drake to Trippie Redd, Marshmello and Wiz Khalifa.

 

 

Alongside a showcase of his animation studio, the exhibition will tie into Gravy Mercedes Records, a record label set up to promote artists and act as a platform for Child's claymation music videos.

 

Bristolians can RSVP here for a limited number of tickets for Gravy Mercedes, taking place from 19:00 till late on Thursday 15 July at The Cider Box, Silverthorne Lane, Bristol BS2 0QD.
