These painted lady mattress canvases would sure get me doing a double take -- and isn't that the point of street art? Instead of taking his artwork to downtown walls, Brian Hunter put his brush to old beds which he propped up in his own yard, drawing attention without public defacement. And, to top it off, I think you could even call it eco.
The gallery has a collection of his mattress canvases, all painted with black and white images of women who appear to be laying on the old floral beds.
