Iconic artist Dom Pattinson - who shot to fame when George Clooney bought his work as a wedding gift for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie - is hiding pieces of art across LONDON in the run-up to his exciting exhibition.

The acclaimed artist's work generally sells for a minimum of £6,000, but this extraordinary treasure hunt stunt will see his team hide TEN PIECES of art between Euston and Hampstead this Friday (28/11/14) morning for fans to hunt down and take their priceless piece home to keep.

The piece - called ‘Stand Proud, Stand Out’ - is a statement about gay rights, equality and human rights and features a dazzling, multicoloured zebra. And it's already caught the eye of one of his biggest celebrity patrons, Liam Gallagher.

His ‘free art’ campaign has been hugely successful in the past - it was when he left his pieces around New York City that the works caught George Clooney’s eye and inspired him to get in touch to commission a special piece for the Pitt family.

This time, the artist is scattering free art across the city while preparing for his show with our client, Zebra One Gallery at the iconic Utopia Studios in Primrose Hill.

The historical studio has seen acts including Sir Paul McCartney, The Boomtown Rats, Bay City Rollers and many more pass through its doors, and was the location for the recording of the first Band Aid single, 30 years ago.

Pattinson’s show, which opens on December 11th, is being held in aid of Bob Geldof’s Ebola charity, with all proceeds going towards fighting the disease.
