Dtriking a pose in Trafalgar Square to launch the 1998 Unipart calendar. singer/actress Toyah Wilcox synchronises brushes with artist George Torjussen. Unipart is breaking with convention this year by using paintings instead of photographs.
Making full use of his artistic licence. George has created a fantasy world which includes Laurel and Hardy appearing in the same scene as racing driver Graham Hill outside a Unipart garage. The artist refers to this as "selective realism", putting real characters into imaginary settings. Other notables receiving the Torjussen treatment are Toyah, Peter Sellers, George Formby, Tommy Cooper and Diana Doors.
A pot-pourri of celebs indeed...
