Big Book

When faced with elimination, auction or “the wheel of death”, what did Red Nose Studio do? He won and avoided it all. In the 2004 Indianapolis competition, local artists are each given matching materials and a time limit (four hours) to create a new piece of work on site.

The public picks their favorite 16 paintings, which then go head to head in the main event where losers face the possibility of destruction or the wheel of death.
