Would you like the street artist Phlegm to paint a mural on your wall?

[IngridB]

You may have noticed the street art that has popped up in the area in the last couple of years. There have been lots of discussion of them here.

The walls are organised by Dulwich Outdoor Gallery https://www.facebook.com/DulwichOutdoorGallery?ref=hl and the subject matter always relates in some way to paintings in Dulwich Picture Gallery. The next exhibition at DPG is works by Escher http://www.dulwichpicturegallery.org.uk/whats-on/exhibitions/2015/october/the-amazing-world-of-m-c-escher/ and Phlegm has agreed to paint a wall relating to this. I (DOG) just need a wall! The more prominent it is the better.

Phlegm is massively respected in the street art world and has already painted one Dulwich wall, a man playing a circular trumpet on the corner of Barry Road and Goodrich Road.

Please private message me if you are interested or want more info. Thanks so much.

I think you need to re-name this to The East Dulwich Outdoor Gallery.

Oh that's my favourite painting of all but afraid I don't have a suitable wall .

Good luck I hope you find one 😀

[whateley1970]

Gutted I don't have a suitable wall - the trumpeter on Goodrich is fantastic!

On a recent visit to my home town in NZ I noticed this mural, thought it looked familiar, and it turns out it's by Phlegm too. Small world!

Yes John, I know 'Dulwich' isnt strictly accurate. In fact there are walls belonging to this project in Nunhead, Peckham and Forest Hill. But the name 'Dulwich Outdoor Gallery' chimes a bit with 'Dulwich Picture Gallery' in the same obscure way as the walls chime with the old master paintings.

I know I'm old and a kill joy but ...I wouldn't half prefer virginia creeper or similar .

Yes, Phlegm does paint all over the world. The one you attached is amazing. I think the coloured parts would be by another artist, as I have never seen him paint other than in black and white. I might be wrong.

[KestonKid]

How much would we have to cough up for that?

[DulwichFox]

This is the Trumpeter Image..

It had some cables crossing it which I have Photo shopped out.

Sorry cannot locate bigger image at the mo.

It's my Favourite graffiti in the area.

no one pays anything for these murals unless. The pubs have all given free food and drink to the artists while they are painting and sometimes paid for the paint. Dulwich Outdoor Gallery funds it all.

[IngridB]

Thank you everyone who has offered walls, all 8 of you! I am so pleased that it seems so popular. So I now have a suitable wall for Phlegm, but if anyone would still like a mural by another artist, please get in touch.

[KidKruger]

How much ?

[RyeBoy]

Where is the wall for Phlegm's new street art going to be IngridB?

I think that was intended as a joke (cough/phlegm, geddit?)

[IngridB]

Yes, got it! Im just slow!

[IngridB]

I will let you and others know when it is all completely confirmed and a date arranged for Phlegm to start.

[IngridB]

Phlegm is painting a wall now, its 155 London Road, Herne Hill. Its right opposite the large entrance to Brockwell Park and that big traffic intersection. He is going far faster than I expected and will probably finish it today. If you want to pop down and speak to him, go this afternoon if possible.

[SLad]

That artwork is amazing. I saw it in outline on Fri night and by Sat it was already coming together. By Sunday it was magnificent. What a great addition to Herne Hill. Can we have one in West Norwood please?

[Otta]

Really talented.

Stupid name.

[slarti b]

Was the "bee\honeycomb" mural near the Plough part of this projetc? If so why did they get rid of it, was really nice.

[albert]

Hello, I know Phlegm is already painting a mural in Herne Hill but I was wondering if he would be interested in painting a small one on my gate. I was about to paint it a whacky colour or get someone to paint something on it anyway.

[IngridB]

Yes of course. Find a suitable wall (very visible and not on a listed building), make sure the owner doesnt mind, and I will organise.

I know. Try Googling Phlegm and you get some pretty disgusting stuff, especially in images.

Its explained in the thread here http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,1576213,1576213#msg-1576213

It means much more when you know the picture it is based on, see attached image. The old one is of Lady Venetia Digby by Van Dyck, painted in 1633.
