Apple Christmas Tree 2025 by Jealous Artists
Published on:From a screen to Battersea: Jealous artists David Shrigley and Lakwena are part of Apple’s Christmas projections at Battersea Power Station, London.
This festive installation showcases a collection of Christmas tree artworks created on iPad and projected at monumental scale onto the historic Battersea Power Station façade in London. Apple commissioned artists, illustrators, and members of the public to design original Christmas trees using iPad and Apple Pencil for this seasonal light projection display.
Jealous artists David Shrigley and Lakwena feature among the contributing artists and competition winners, bringing their signature graphic styles to the nightly projections at Battersea Power Station, London.
British Ugandan artist Lakwena's tree is a celebration of play, reconfiguring beads from the artist's local Ridley Road shop including banana, flower, bow and heart motifs, previously used to braid the artist's daughter's hair. Lakwena describes the encompassing themes as power, hope and paradise, explaining "I wanted something rooted in real memories." Find out more with Channel 4 on Youtube.
British artist David Shrigley tackles the notion of a Christmas tree with subversive humour: 'Skinny Green Christmas Tree Man' sees a traditional Christmas tree reimagined as a statuesque naive-style stick figure of a man with minimal red features, nothing more, nothing less.
The alternative Christmas tree projection installation runs every evening until 24 December 2024, from 5:00pm to 10:30pm, transforming the iconic London landmark into an immersive digital art canvas.
