Artist Dreph, who is also a street artist that gained popularity with his realistic portraits painted across London, has painted on a charity art sculpture globe for "A World Imagined". "A World Imagined" is a collaboration with Wild In Art, and the purpose is to bring awareness to racial injustice, culture, history, and community in the United Kingdom. The sculpture trails were located in a few cities and spread across London during the summer. Dreph painted one of the sculptures, which is called "Dress Code".
"Dress Code" highlights the different styles that black people in Britain have followed since the 1950s: Calypso, Reggae, Hip Hop, Ragga, Jungle and Grime. These are inspired by musical influences. Black music is popular in British mainstream culture, and this contributes to today's culture as a British identity. I've photographed all of the "sides" of the globe for you to enjoy Dreph's work.
