Pleasure Island

This enchanting ‘Scarytale’ Frame is made by Fee Fee La Fou. “Give a bad boy enough rope, & he'll soon make a jackass of himself.” This mixed media piece is a moquette for my very own Amusement Park. It is loosely based on the cursed Amusement Park in the 1940’s film 'Pinocchio', which turns mischievous young boys into donkeys. It is also inspired by Blackpool ‘Pleasure Beach’, double entendres in classic British Comedy & early, contraversial sculptures by the Chapman Brothers. Through these playful pieces I wanted to explore & subvert the historical significance of the picture frame. Please these note these pieces can also be fitted with mirrors. Please contact us directly to discuss a commission of any size. It is 49cm x 59cm. Please note that due to the fragile nature of this piece it will need to be delivered via courier services. Once payment has been received you will receive an email to confirm the delivery arrangements & transport costs. Please feel free to contact us if you would like a quote in advance.

Fiona Duffelen is a multi disciplinary artist who loves to paint, print, collage, sculpt & sew. She exhibited her work internationally before setting up her studio in Hackney Wick. Her alter ego Miss Fee Fee La Fou is the Founder & Ringmaster of this three-ring spectacle. She was the first Sprechstallmeister to wear pink top hat & tails. The daughter of Leonard Zelig, a mimic, she has been dubbed the Human Chameleon for she has an extraordinary hidden talent – the ability to blend almost seamlessly into intricate backgrounds with careful application of body paint & a bit of acrobatics. She studies her chosen location for hours before painting herself or other subjects to blend in, taking both texture & perspective into account in order to ensure the complete success of this unusual disappearing act! Her dressing room Dreamland is a neon nirvana; a cornucopia of kitsch for it contains thousands of pieces of original neon art including a miniature replica of Vegas & Arthur Windley’s miniature funfair, which he built for his own amusement, in his garden shed over a 40-year period.
