Street artist Senor X (Sr. X) has previously been covered on this blog, and the artist is from Spain but has painted many walls across London, including the one below in Penge. The piece is titled "The Flock" and shows a man jumping with black birds. The piece is unique and creative as it has been painted on the corner of a wall, so the perspective has been adapted accordingly. It is a very creative work that shows much skill in perspective. The work dates from 2020.

Another piece by Sr. X was painted in Penge above a shop, and it is called "Fourth Eye" as the subject has double sets of eyes. This piece dates from 2018.

The last piece that I am showcasing here is actually in Camden, and I could not find that I had showcased it previously. "Electric Larvae Love" shows a woman holding a giant yellow caterpillar. It was painted in 2017.

Street artist Woskerski is known for surrealist and expressive artwork, and his work can be discovered across London. The artist is originally from Poland but has been based in London for a few years now. I discovered seveal murals by Woskerski in Penge in 2020 and 2021, and below is one of the works that I had not gotten around to uploading. It shows a picture of a small terrier dog with its tongue out.

Street artist Hunto is known for his abstract portraiture street art style, and he is one street artist who has been painting London's walls for several years now. The artist is originally from Italy and does paint walls world-wide (from the late 1990s). He is inspired by Picasso and uses colourful geometric shapes to create the portraits, which depict his characters in communication or in romantic interactions. A few works that I captured this year are below.

Last month, I visited National Trust property Petworth. The first time (and last time) that I visited Petworth was during the pandemic, and part of the house was in lockdown. This time, a couple more areas were open, but it was not changed much from the lockdown years. Petworth is also having a special event at the moment. Around the gardens are a few painted Elmer sculptures that visitors can find. I enjoyed locating the sculptures and having a look inside the house. The Elmer sculptures will be in place at Petworth until early September.

The artwork has been inspired by famous artists.

After locating some of the elephant Elmer sculptures, I had a wander around Petworth House, which dates from th 17th century and was the site of hunting grounds. Today, the house is filled with artwork.

The staircase has been painted to appear three-dimensional.

There is some work by William Blake.

And a very early globe, which does its best to explain where different countries are in the world but is not at all accurate.

The kitchens were open too.

On the way back to the car, I went in search of the remaining Elmer sculptures.

For more photographs from Petworth House and Gardens, see the following post: A Morning At Petworth (National Trust, West Sussex): Lockdown Edition.

A few years ago, I discovered some street art in east Lodon that appeared to be doll heads painted different colours and pasted up on walls. These look to be from a mould and either resin or some plaster material. The work was unsigned, so I am not sure who the street artist is. Anyone who knows can leave a message.

This post contains some street art that I have captured over the past several months. Street artists Jim Vision and This One have collaborated on a wall near Old Street, and I also captured various other murals of both artists' works. Both This One and Jim Vision are London-based artists. This One seems to have started painting on London's walls in 2016. Jim Vision's work uses elements of fantasy. This One usually creates illustrative artwork in black and white paint. The first piece is a collaboration on a wall.

I also captured some murals by Jim Vision around east London.

Including this one at Old Street, which has been there for years.

This One also painted many walls and shutters around east London.

This is a collaboration with Nush Poke.

Below is some street art by This One that I have captured over the past several years.

Pablo Fiasco is a London-based street artist who creats stencil artwork and often uses the tag of a spray paint cap. The artist often paints comical work with focus on political and social events. His work was spread across Brick Lane, Sclater Street, and off Great Eastrn Street.

Street artist Fanakapan's street art has been on London streets for over a decade now. The artist is known for his chrome balloon style, and balloons often feature in his work, known as "balloon graff". I captured a photograph in the autumn of 2021 in Penge of the Oscar the Grouch character from "Sesame Street". The placement of the piece is perfect with trash bins in front of the mural as Oscar lives in a trash bin.

In April of 2021, street artist Senor X painted a mural on a wall in Camden. I was not able to get a photograph without a vehicle in the way, and on my return visit, the mural was completely gone. Artist Senor X (Sr. X) is from Spain but has painted many murals across London.

Street artist David Puck is based in the USA, but he is from Hereford in the UK. The artist painted some murals in 2021 in Crystal Palace, which I discovered at the end of 2021. His work is primarily portraits, and he uses elements of graphic design to creat unique styles. He has worked with some large brands, and his work spans traditional painting as well as street art. David Puck's work has an element of fashion, and he has worked with fashion brands. The two murals in Crystal Palace are in an alleyway, so it was difficult to capture photographs of them.
