1520 - Lazerian 1520 is a 3D sculpture by Liam Hopkins and Daren Newman commissioned by Selfridges in celebration of the Paris Olympics introducing Breaking

“1520” by @Lazerian & Daren Newman was shown at @Selfridges Manchester during the Olympics. A kinetic tribute to breakdancing’s roots at 1520 Sedgwick Ave — always moving, never static.

It was great to see some of the grassroots musicians that were part of the Guitar St portrait’s perform together under Cathedral of Sound. Also listen to how a Greater Mcr Grassroots Music Fund will give artists some much needed financial support

🎵 Throwback to Soundwaves — our sculptural take on music for Moxy Birmingham.

We turned the phrase “At the Moxy Birmingham” into a 3D waveform. Sound made visible. Rhythm without noise.

Lisa Nandy announces £270m fund for UK’s ‘crumbling’ cultural infrastructure

Lately, I’ve been reflecting on the connection between art and music. Both art and music are powerful forms of expression, and when combined, they can evoke emotion and create a lasting impact.
One example is Unity, a piece I created using drumsticks for a music venue

An insight into the cleaning and prep of @manchesterairport.bsky.social original chandelier pieces.

A visit to The Music Man yesterday to collect some vintage brass band instruments for an upcoming sculpture for Stalybridge Brass Band. Bill, the owner has had the shop and his specialist workshop for nearly 40 years. He literally hand makes parts as a lot aren't manufactured anymore.

Why networking should be your top priority in 2025 (and how to do it) 👀 https://buff.ly/3Bnfee9

At the heart of Stellar Waves is an exploration of time- an intentional shift away from the fast-paced, immediate nature often associated with illuminated art.

By embracing slowness, it offers viewers a space to pause and immerse themselves in a deeper engagement with light, motion and form

A fantastic weekend at Lightwaves premiering our light sculpture Stellar Waves. Despite the weather challenges, we were thrilled to see such a huge crowd come out to experience it.

“Predator Within” is a striking sculpture of a black shark encased in a wireframe bear. It explores the tension between power and vulnerability, instinct and structure, and the hidden depths within us all.

What does it say to you?
