In 2010 BP was responsible for the largest ever oil-spill in the history of the petroleum industry. During 87 days oil flowed unabated into the Gulf of Mexico, causing extensive damage to marine and wildlife habitats.
Many cleanup activities and projects ensued but one in particular drew art from the disaster through the project OIL & WATER DO NOT MIX.
Belgian communications agency Happiness Brussels teamed up with designer Anthony Burrill to create this poster.
With a limited edition print run of 200, the posters were screen-printed with the oil from the Gulf of Mexico disaster, with all benefits going to the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana (CRCL), a non-profit organisation dedicated to restoring the Gulf of Mexico’s coastal wetlands.
The process involved some very dirty hands before achieving the final poster.
All the photos of the project can be seen here
