Brixton going Green

Recently a transformation took place on the Housing Property Services wall owned by Lambeth Council on Somerleyton Road. The idea was to take a bland wall that faces the houses opposite and transform it visually to create a natural but urban designed mural. The challenge for the artists was to work their style into this brief. Bonzai, Lovepusher, Solo and Crymein worked over a period of two weeks to add their own distinctive styles to the mural.
Also the leaves were tidied up and place into specially made composting bins so in a few months there will be fresh compost to be used on other gardening projects. The space will also feature some flower beds by Small World Urbanism to complete the transformation.

 This requires some urgent colour

Transforming the corner.

Recently we have been working on transforming the corner at Six Brixton on Somerleyton Road. The idea was create a functional area that children could play on using houses which were made from wood pallets and painting a mural on the wall. Tony added some small flower beds which were made from 100 year old pine wood we rescued after being thrown out by contractors on Rushcroft Road. This amazing wood even had handmade nails joining it together.
Also joining us was artist Crymein who added a character to the end wall in his unique style. Our installation also featured a mini Santaferino  which is our favourite Colombian Restaurant in Brixton Village.
We hope you enjoy this transformation as much as we have enjoyed making it.

 Oh dear
