Street Art by Wild Drawing in Penge

Street artist Wild Drawing (WD) often uses dimension and existing features of the wall to create unique street art. The artist, who was born in Bali but now lives in Greece, has painted walls all over the world since 2000 after degrees in fine art. He is inspired by graphic arts in comics and graphic novels, and he visited London at the end of 2019 in order to paint this mural off Parish Street in Penge. The mural itself is tucked in the corner between terraced buildings.

The mural appears to depict a mermaid creature in the 3D effect while using the architecture of the building to add to the work. The artist painted the work using long rollers on poles, which was perfected in his home country of Bali. To get this fine level of detail with the perspective is amazing.

I hope to see this artist return to London to paint additional walls as this is a stunning piece.
