Artist Simon Dry has created Sweet Art, highly original art of much loved sweets, made solely from discarded Quality Street wrappers. These iconic artworks feature Dolly Mixture, Fab ice lolly, Flying Saucers, Jelly Babies, Jelly Beans, Love Hearts, Liquorice Allsorts, Pink Shrimp, Quality Street chocolates (Green Triangle, Purple One, Toffee Finger, Toffee Penny and Strawberry Cream), Rocket ice lolly and Wine Gums, with new images being added regularly.
The sold out first show at Brick Lane Gallery in London was attended by Claire and Clive Mackintosh (original manufacturers of Quality Street) and they were amongst the first buyers.
Sweet Art is all about a love of love, art, sweets, nostalgia and making people smile. It is also Simon’s own small contribution to reducing the amount of single use plastic going to landfill and polluting our environment.
