Lee Hadwin, who is described as a ‘sleep walking artist,' has
allowed a series of his drawings and paintings as well as videos of
him doing them, to be shown at popular tourist attraction Ripley's
Believe It Or Not!
On Friday, Lee himself will make an appearance at the Piccadilly
Circus venue where he will be meeting members of the public and
signing his prints, which he creates whilst in a state of
sleep.
"The Ripley’s Believe It or Not! brand is such a good fit for my
pieces," Hadwin said. "I’m excited to have a pop-up exhibition
somewhere that celebrates all that is different and I hope that the
visitors will enjoy my unusual talent and the pieces I’ve
created."
Hadwin has been described by the Edinburgh Sleep Clinic and the Art
World as truly "unique." He has been studied by doctors and
scientists both in the UK and overseas but his nocturnal artistic
activities are a still mystery.
Despite having had no artistic training, he has been producing
pieces of artwork in his sleep since the age of four.
However, he is unable to produce such pieces whilst awake but his
skills whilst asleep have developed over the years to become more
detailed and demand for his pieces from art galleries and
exhibitions across the globe continues to grow.
