An icon within the artist’s imaginative oeuvre

 To celebrate Horatio's presence beyond the canvas, I conceived and produced an immersive, highly participatory event in collaboration with the artist

The experience opened with a live graffiti painting of Horatio, executed by Lovejoy in real time. 

This was followed by a communal egg toss—an unexpected, playful gesture that invited audience participation and symbolized collective celebration. 

Together, artist and attendees engaged in a shared act of tribute, blurring the lines between viewer and creator.

The interactive performance brought Horatio to life in a tangible way,

Transforming him from painted symbol into living mythology

The event reinforced Horatio's place as a beloved figure in Lovejoy’s surreal world

Exemplifying the power of art to foster connection, curiosity, and joy.
