Artist transforms anitique porcelain figures to reflect a perception of the modern youth, London, Britain - 14 Apr 2009
PORCELAIN HOOLIGANS
An artist has transformed antique porcelain figures into teenage hooligans eating fast food and carrying out 'happy slappings' as part of an extraordinary new collection.
With the addition of mobile phones and hoodies, Barnaby Barford has turned the traditional porcelain, bought for a few pounds from junk shops, into chav models which sell for as much as GBP 8,000.
Scenes include a family scoffing buckets of KFC and a hooded boy spraying graffiti on a wall.
Other models show a boy wolfing down a McDonald's burger and more 'hoodies' causing havoc in a park.
One piece entitled 'Do it again, I didn't press record' even shows kids 'happy slapping' a helpless victim - one boy kicks a figure curled up on the floor while his cherub-faced accomplice films it on a mobile phone.
Artist Barnaby Barford said his collection, called 'The Good, The Bad, The Belle', reflects how the youth of today are perceived by the older generation.
The 31-year-old, who lives in London with his wife Valeria, 31, added that there had been a mixed reaction to his unusual figurines.
He said: "It's been interesting to see different people's reactions to the models.
"Some people think they're horrific and others think they're funny.
"But in general there's been a great response - people enjoy the humour.
"I think people are shocked because the models catch them off guard - they're seeing these usually traditional, pretty porcelain models in a totally new context.
"In a way it is shocking but I don't believe it's in a gross way."
Mr Barford uses antique porcelain models, bought from car-boot sales and charity shops, as a base for his collection.
The original models are dismantled by the artist...
