Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms spray paint

Ewan .... when I talk Street Art this is more what I have in mind 🙂 .... done by a very talented artist who I knew as she was my Nephew's girlfriend.





Some idea of the scale




Couple more of hers (not sure if the magpie was a joint collaboration with another artist ... hence the different style between the bird and figure)








Quality work .... and a million miles away from graffitti taggers

Some of the street art is priceless, sadly this work by the late Robert Lenkiewicz has fallen into a very poor state now, these works are important imho as is Banksy in the larger scheme of things, we are all different fortunately







About the Barbican mural



Completed around 1971-1972, the wall area of the mural covers approximately 3,000 square feet and the painting has an Elizabethan theme.


The whole composition is loosely based on the Hebrew letter 'aleph' (right), which according to the cabala, implies unity as man in relation to the cosmos. The theme concerns itself with metaphysical ideas that were current in England during the period 1580-1620. These ideas cover the following activities: Philosophy, Alchemy, Cabala, Ceremonial Magic, the symbolical aspects of poetry, music and art, the cult of melancholy, chivalry, and similar allegorical trends.

Back to basics!

Graffiti is anarchy fun, murals are something different.
Both are a kind of street art

Those are lovely. The work on the second one is quite remarkable.
