THE VILLAGE UNDERGROUND WALL
East London is set to get a makeover from the world's most talented street artists this year. No longer
can the elitists overlook the most dynamic and rapidly growing community in the arts world.
In 2012, Dulwich Picture
Gallery, the first public
art gallery in the UK
collaborated with world
famous street artist Stik.
Stik recreated seven of the
most critically acclaimed
paintings hung in the gallery
and transplanted them in his
own unique style across the
walls of leafy Dulwich. This
latest project, the WALL,
from Street Art London
shows that street art is a
form of art that is very much
alive as it continues to attract
adventurous, talented and
imaginative individuals who
refuse to confine their work
to designated spaces.
The Village Underground
WALL is a collaborative art
project between Street Art
London and East London's
creative community Village
Underground. The WALL
in
Shoreditch
features
work from the world's best
street artists throughout
2013. Street Art London
and Village Underground
aim to make the WALL the
most prestigious street
art wall in the world and
a cultural landmark of
London. The first artwork
currently on display is from
outstanding Sheffield street
artist
Phlegm.
Phlegm
started his career as an
illustrator and his street art
captures the fantasy world
of books in a way that has
never been seen before. His
current design of the wall,
pictured here, was inspired
by a scene from the brilliant
childhood classic, Where
The Wild Things Are.
This is more than just a well
painted wall. The WALL is a
statement that challenges
how we think of art and our
cities. And of course it is a
pretty damn cool wall too.
To keep up with what's
happening with the wall
follow @StreetArtLondon
and make sure you
get yourself down to
Shoreditch to see it for
yourself.
