Art Attack legend revives his 'Big Art' style 18 years after show ended

Almost two decades after his last TV masterpiece, Neil Buchanan created a mural announcing the relaunch of a popular 90s snack.

It was made using classic items from the decade, such as cassette tapes, skateboard wheels and old lunchboxes.

The big artwork was unveiled to celebrate 90s favourite Müller Corner Original Rhubarb Crumble, which is making its way back to supermarket shelves.

And it comes after the artist personally called for the flavour’s return.

Art Attack icon Neil Buchanan said: “It’s been nearly two decades since I last took on a project like this.

“But when I heard the Müller Corner Originals Rhubarb Crumble inspired yoghurt was coming back, I had to get involved.

“It’s actually my favourite flavour!

“It’s been 30 years since it first launched, so bringing it back with my iconic ‘Big Art’ just felt like the perfect masterpiece."

The collaboration comes following the relaunch of the Müller Corner Originals Apple Crumble inspired yogurt late last year.

While Art Attack is associated with 90s nostalgia, the show actually ran in its original form from 1990 until 2007.

With more than 300 episodes featuring stunning big arts in a variety of locations, as well as ‘The Head’, a puppet stone bust who would recap the steps needed to recreate Neil’s creations at home.

Neil Buchanan is credited with writing and producing the programme, as well as coming up with many of the giant artworks.

But many aren’t aware that as well as fostering a love of art in millions of children, he was a heavy metal musician in a band called Marseille.

And in 2020, he had to release a statement denying he was the secretive street artist Banksy, after online rumours began to mount up.

Helen Carswell, for Müller Corner, said: “We heard the public’s call to bring back this fan favourite loud and clear.

“We’re thrilled to be bringing these two icons back into the spotlight together, for a moment of pure 90s nostalgia.”
