What an amazing project organised by Street Art London and Museum of London. Thierry Noir, Run and John Dolan painted the London Wall.
John Dolan drew London landscape leaving families opportunity to add their own creations to London streets.
Kacper loved adding some Minecraft figures on the London buses and Tower Bridge. Can you spot a purple crazy girl with an Iphone on Tower of London? that’s me 🙂
It was great to see the artists placing their finishes touches on their works.
Finally I had a chance to see the abandoned building in Bromley by Bow. It’s not really really abandoned as someone squats there, however it’s definitely not safe due to plenty of rubbish, holes and every floor looks like it’s about to collapse. The street art pieces there are amazing and it will be a big sadness when the building will be destroyed completely!
I had a good walk yesterday. The weather wasn’t perfect and I caught a cold in the silly rain, but it was worth it as I found lots of new street artists, plenty of dscreet and some really nice pieces such as from Jim Vision, Borondo, Thieu and many more!
Last week we went on a trip to Epping Forest. The weather wasn’t perfect, but at least it wasn’t raining. As an extension to our Forest School lessons we thought will be great to go to a real forest and we had chosen Epping Forest. It was a perfect place to recreate some of our favourite stories, such as The Gruffalo and We are Going on a Bear Hunt.
We had fun exploring this mystical and enchanted areas of the forest as apparently it is one of the most haunted forests and woods in the world. We found lots of mud and the sound of oozy mud was great.
We looked for minibeasts, birds, animal footprints. We looked at different plants, trees and we build a shelter ourselves. Look at our muddy wellies.
The latest exhibition in Howard Griffin Gallery, which is now only for few more days is Retrospective by Thierry Noir. He is well known for being the first to paint the Berlin Wall and creating brightly coloured artwork, which was forbidden at that time. Thierry Noir work brings smile and actually this is his first solo exhibition. Very often he also wears a bright yellow coat himself.
Next time.. Pablo Delgado!
Howard Griffin Gallery in East London hosts great street art exhibitions. In February and March it was Phlegm’s amazing installation, The Bestiary. Phlegm’s style is very unique, when creating the half real and half imagined animals and beasts. I wonder what happened to all those 3D pieces made of wood, clay and plaster. It was fantastic and I visited few times myself. It was great to see some other street artist hidden in Phlegm’s work.
