Designer picked to decorate 12 BA Olympic planes
04.09.11
Pascal Anson is to create an artwork that will be painted on to 12 British Airways planes to be used to fly in guests and teams to the 2012 London Olympic Games. Mr Anson, a designer and senior lecturer at Kingston University, was selected after a competition launched by BA in May and open to Britons aged 16 and over.
He will receive mentoring from artist Tracey Emin to develop his artwork, which will be unveiled next February before being applied to the aircraft. When in place it will cover the whole length of the planes. Ms Emin said, ‘Pascal presented a clear and concise idea that we all responded to immediately. If I saw this aircraft on the runway I’d definitely want to be on it.’
