Today's post covers street artist by Trust Icon in Penge. Trust Icon is a street artist who has painted often in London, and these are a few of the works that I discovered in Penge a couple of years ago by the artist. The artist's work is inspired by characters and subjects of popular culture (video games, cartoons, films) often in witty or thought-provoking circumstances. Below are the artworks by Trust Icon that I discovered in Penge.
First up is the title character from "Forrest Gump", who is sitting with a face mask, chocolate box, and social distancing sign. The film would take on a completely different meaning had the title character not been able to speak to anyone.
The beloved "Peanuts" comic strip character Snoopy features in another mural on a wall located in a residential area. Snoopy is carrying a heart and acting as a grafitti artist.
The next artwork features the big bad wolf from the "Little Red Riding Hood" nursery rhyme. Apparently, a sign pointing at "grandma" was located on the brick wall outside. The piece remains partially-hidden behind discarded items.
The final piece is also obscured and features a snake charmer charming a pixel-based 1980's inspired snake.
