Oliver Guy-Watkins graduated from Central St Martins in 2011 with a Fine Art Masters, prior to this he was a self taught artist working in London and Berlin. His multi-disciplinary work encompasses installation, film and photography.

2012 will be the fifth year that Oliver Guy-Watkins has taken part in the Art Car Boot Fair. During that time he has invited people to read a poem by Rupert Brooke in the back of a car, for his 225 part video work Postcard To Brooke; assembled a team to improve the art that people weren't 100% happy with; trained and performed as a professional wrestler; and invited people to scrawl the things they doubt over his now defunct Peugeot 106 named Lucille. At associated events, such as The London Design Festival, Guy-Watkins held a funeral procession for Lucille, stolen from the frames of Fellini; and at the Big Chill he built a cinema in the back of a lorry which he froze, screening films by emerging and established artists.

This year, he will merge his installation and sculptural practice into a performance. At his Central St Martins degree show Guy-Watkins transformed the former Charing Cross Road canteen into a frozen wasteland using wax and resin; and more recently as part the Dark Matter exhibition at Boetzelaer|Nispen he insinuated the breaking of a water pipe in the ceiling leading into a pool of ice. At The Art Car Boot Fair, Guy-Watkins use the same materials to 'freeze' a car through-out the day. The car will then be unfrozen and returned to it's rightful owner at the end of the event. Producing an installation which will last no longer than a few hours.
