Stik: Dulwich

Stik Dulwich picture gallery street art london

Stik recently collaborated with the Dulwich Picture Gallery to re-create seven old master paintings from the Gallery’s collection around the streets of Dulwich. This project represents a daring collaboration between street artist and England’s first public art gallery. It is also refreshing to see Stik’s work and street art more generally transplanted into leafy and surbaban Dulwich.

Stik found inspiration from regular visits to the gallery and then reinterperated and remixed the work into his own unique style. Stik’s simplification of the works in the street serve to highlight the universal nature of the themes expressed by the old masters. The piece below is Stik’s interpretation of Marcantonio Franceschini’s The Guardian Angel (1716), located at the Push Studios at Blackwater Court, Dulwich.

ROA Hedgehog pops up in Shoreditch

20 Aug ’1223 Apr ’12

On Sunday ROA put up a great new mural on Chance Street in Shoreditch to mark his last night in London before jetting off to paint in Poland. This piece adds to his growing repoitoire of animals around London and caps off an extended stay that saw him put up one more street piece a few weeks back (see below), but more significantly put together a fantastic installation based gallery show entitled Hypnagogia.

New Phlegm wall near Brick Lane

23 Apr ’126 Apr ’12

Last week, Sheffield based street artist Phlegm, put up an epic new piece just off Brick Lane on Heneage Street… This wall four other Phlegm pieces in London… notably this collaboration with ROA in Peckham.

This huge wall took him a full three days to paint and well displays his characteristic black and white, illustrative style and stylised narratives that overflow from his self produced comics. If you fancy tracking down this, and the rest of Phlegm’s street art in London, then why not use the Street Art London iPhone App – all of the pieces are on there and much more besides!

We thought it might be a good idea to tell you guys about some of the features currently in the Street Art London App. The Street Art London App is part of the wider Geo Street Art Apps Project. The Project’s goals are to both help people locate street art within their cities but also to provide insight into the global street art scene and the artists who create these artworks all over the world. With that in mind, please check out the features of the Street Art London App below. There are also some interesting new features in development…

C215 has, in recent days bombarded Brick Lane with new pieces… in a similar vein to his last visit to London in July 2011. Street Art London went out and hunted a few of their pieces down… there are probably one or two more still out there that we missed….

Guest Post: The Buenos Aires street art scene

9 Mar ’1216 Feb ’12

The street art scene in Buenos Aires is immense and boasts some of the most exciting street artists in the world right now. Here BA Street Art give us a small introduction to the Argentine capital…

BLU

It’s certainly been a busy and exciting last few months for street art in Argentina. In November, BA hosted Meeting of Styles, the first ever international graffiti festival to be held in the country. Some 130 street artists were painting at more than half a dozen sites around the city. Vhils from Portugal dropped by to destroy a wall in Palermo and Blu decided to spend the summer in the city. The Italian master ended 2011 in fine style by painting his last four murals of the year here in BA.

Stik – ‘Art Thief’

16 Feb ’1213 Jan ’12

Stik’s well known piece on Pitfield Street in Hoxton was freshened up recently as Stik playfully remixed it to depict an ‘Art Thief’ making off with a nice piece of Stik artwork. Perhaps next month there will just be a plain doorway here as the figure makes its getaway…

RUN around London…

10 Jan ’1214 Dec ’11

RUN at work (with Stik).

Street Art London was lucky enough to hang out with RUN back in December while he added this nice wall to the Foundry. RUN has been busy of late and recently put this cool piece along Hackney Road. RUN tells us that he has a few more pieces in store over the coming months so watch this space…

ROA & Phlegm in Peckham

10 Jan ’1213 Dec ’11

These huge murals by ROA and Phlegm in Peckham were put up back in February this year and at the time weren’t featured on Street Art London. However, given that these two pieces are arguably two of the finest examples of ‘street art’ to be found anywhere in London they deserve extra attention. The setting of these pieces is also a great – a secluded brick courtyard encloses you on all sides creating a feeling of isoloation despite their location in the bustling centre of Peckham.

Banksy – Buy One Get One Free

Banksy Street Art Tap Phoned

Given that Banksy has been very active recently putting down pieces left right and centre in London, with most being very quickly buffed/removed, we thought now might be a good time to feature two other recent pieces of his that are still riding on the streets.

Banksy – ‘Out of Stock’

13 Dec ’1112 Dec ’11

Banksy put up four new pieces in London this week. One on the side of National Gallery, one in Bell Lane near Liverpool St. Station, one on Wapping High Street – all which were buffed/removed very quickly indeed. The best place to see these pieces is therefore on his website which last night underwent a major update with new pieces in Liverpool also.
