Canvas Art by Kris Hardy to appear on ITV’s 60 Minute Makeover
Kris Hardy, the artist based in Hull, East Yorkshire who produces original acrylic on canvas artwork, has been selected by 60 Minute Makeover to supply the show with his canvas artwork. The first show for Kris will be in Cobham in Surry where he is due to produce two canvas art pieces for the living room/dining room. It is anticipated that he will also be supplying the Taunton show two weeks later.
Unlike many of the suppliers to the show, Kris will be producing his canvas art in real time within the 60 minutes. He is due to be painting under a canopy outside. The colour pallet will be given to him by the show’s designer which in the case of the Cobham show will be Derek Taylor. Derek will advise Kris on the colour scheme so his artwork can complement the decor. He is due to be interviewed regarding the work he is supplying by Terri Dwyer, the shows presenter. Kris is hoping this fantastic opportunity will showcase his art to a wider audience. Launched in 2004, 60 Minute Makeover is a very popular daytime, reality television show on ITV aired at 2.00pm until 3.00pm. The designers and crew makeover four rooms in each house as a surprise for a nominated owner or resident. At the end of the show, the revamped rooms are revealed to the deserving person.
It has been a very exciting year for Kris so far not just in the form of 60 Minute Makeover but in May he exhibited at Grand Designs Live at London Excel. Kris had the idea of actually painting whilst on his stand which made for a very productive and effective show and achieving a high number of commissions.
