Last month I was invited to take part in the Save Brixton Arches campaign, which involved various artists painting local shop shutters underneath the railway arch. For those who are unaware, aren't from London or UK this was a campaign trying to stop gentrification of an area that like many, local government never really made the best efforts with and it was the people that made it what it was. A cause at my own heart as I feel very strongly about the destruction of London, the city that raised me, by the Conservative government and corporations that are very narrow-minded in regards to the ideas they have about this city.
I took the opportunity to paint with JUAN2, an artist I met and painted with last year after Streetfest. JUAN2 has an amazing and individual style when it comes to letters and can completely flip the composition e has to work within, also as you cans see the colours he uses manages to compliment each other so well.
The spectacular challenge that I'm quite proud of is that we pulled this off within a 2 hour window!!
