Mural on Vale End (at ED station)

[dino99]

New three storey spray paint graffiti mural on the side of the William Hill shop at the corner of Grove Vale and Vale End. This is right at ED station. The guy has been making it for the past 2 days this weekend.

Anybody know what this is about or who has commissioned it?

What is the significance of the pink paint on the pavement?

There's the earlier thread about the souring road piece that explains all ...

I'm not a fan, the girl part looks wrong. Wish we had a shok-1 piece instead.

I think it looks terrible!!!!

Now, now, clareybrad, don't you know you're not allowed to have a subjective view of art? It makes you an arsehole.

I've got it!

It's a three kings mural.

I know one of the guys involved works with an Israeli graffiti crew called Broken Fingaz, who are pretty great:

They had an excellent show in the Truman Brewery off of Brick Lane last year which had some very decent press. As in here:

Dead hip.

The girl in the mural is inspired by A Girl in a Window by Rembrandt at Dulwich Picture Gallery. System did the girl and Remi Rough the background. It is part of the 'collection' of Dulwich Outdoor Gallery https://www.facebook.com/DulwichOutdoorGallery Broken Fingaz did the face with two sets of eyes on the wall outside the ArtHouse, 165 Lordship Lane, next to the bus stop.

I did not know that these are collectively known as the "Dulwich Outdoor Gallery".

I'd like to pop over to Dulwich at the weekend to look at the SE21 examples.

Can anyone tell me where they are?

Thank you.

Strictly speaking there are only 3 Dulwich Outdoor Gallery murals in SE21, all in the parks. Here is an article about them http://dulwichonview.org.uk/2013/06/04/baroque-the-parks-inspiration-from-dulwich-picture-gallery/

Thank you.

I do not think I am fit enough to walk to Belair car park.

I'll try to look at the new Forest Hill street art instead.

I guess it should realy have been called the "East Dulwich Outdoor Gallery".

Simple slip to make if you don't live in East Dulwich.
