In 7 days, INSA ran the city of east London, painting 35 pieces on the route of Charlie Dark’s map for Nike Sportswear’s IAM1 Journey project. Produced by Protein and documented by INSA’s long time collaborator, photographer Ethel, each of the 35 hand painted pieces form one of the centre pieces of INSAs major London solo show for 2009. This IAM1 Journey animation will be deconstructed within the “Looking For Love In All The Wrong Places” show with behind-the-scenes processes alongside the original painted objects that make up the individual frames. The show takes place at London’s NSW 1948 pop-up shop and runs from July 17th – July 26th, 2009

Insa and designer Ben Rousseau have been hard at work putting their artistic touch on the current incarnation of the Ice Hotel. The duo worked just under 3 weeks in sub-35 degree tempratures to carve a gigantic pair of ice heels. What they created is a grand artist suite with bed between the legs, and an arched window decorated with Insa’s signature engravings.

The bubble chair gets sexed up by Insa in this collaboration with Rousseau. Light sensitive material forms the graphic structure. The whole thing is a contemporary twist on a retro classic. 

UK artist Insa introduces Insa Heels. It was only a matter of time for this to come, after the artist has become known through his heels design in recent years.

Based in London, ‘Insa Heels’ is a bold backlash against mass production and aims to establish itself as a luxury footwear brand with limited edition colours, using only top end materials and European production.

The artist got together with Ruth Shaw, a London based shoe designer, to bring Insa Heels to life. The first release includes three colorways of the "Classic" stiletto, both featuring the iconic Insa Heels designs.

The website with online store will be going live tomorrow, September 17th.
