I have previously covered the artwork by street artist Envol (Steven Jurado) on this blog. Envol Studio's style is graphic design featuring minimal styling and geometric forms, often simplistic in style. Normally, the colours used are monotone (black and white) with an accent colour. I've followed the artist's work over the past decade in east London. The below was painted over the past two or three years. 

The above was painted over Halloween last year.

The final work in this post by Envol was photographed in Penge.

Today's post features street art captured in Penge in the autumn of 2021 when I went on a street art walk that was being hosted by LondonCallingBlog, and as we ran out of time, I went to see some of the pieces the following weekend. Irony's work is realistic, and it typically depicts animals or female portraits. This artwork was painted in Penge at the end of 2019 and in spring of 2021.

This cat's face painted on a shutter at Parish Lane in Penge was completed in the spring of 2021.

This portrait of a girl was also painted in the spring of 2021 in a residential area of Penge.

The last artwork featured in this post is of a dog, painted on a building behind a wall. The dog appears to peer over the top of the wall. 

In front of the dog is artwork by FIYA101, which is in black and white with geometric patterns.

Today, I am featuring street art by Nerone, an artist from France who uses typefae with floral and neon imagery to create eye-catching sreet art. Nerone, inspired by the hip-hop culture since he was 11-years-old, focuses on graphic design. One of the artist's newest murals in London was painted in late summer last year; it is on Zetland House, and it reads: Shine your Light".

Spanish street artist Elno paints portraits using bright colours, and she has painted across the U.K. I discovered some of her work in Penge a couple of years ago, and she has been painting in London from 2015. One of the large-scale murals is on Southey Street in Penge. It features a feminine character with blue skin. The other is located on Maple Street on a shutter.

The below was a collaboration between Lours and Elno, and it is titled "Empowering", and it shows two feminie characters. The artists are part of WOM Collective, and it was painted in 2021.

The last mural in Penge is located on Maple Street and is partially-obscured. It ws painted in 2020.

Street artist Zabou first painted in Penge in November of 2020, and I saw this mural a year after it was painted. The work is inspired from watching people become consumed by social media and always being hooked into it. Zabou has been painting murals in London over the past several years now, and her work is best described as realistic. She often paints portraits.

JimmyC is a high profile street artist who has created several popular murals in London, including Usain Bolt during the 2012 Olympics and David Bowie in Brixton, which became a place of tribute after Bowie's death. His work is created with dots or daubs of different colours of paint to build up an image. One of the newest artworks from the South African street artist is "spring", which is a large-scale mural that covers the entire back of a building on Whitecross Street. It features trees and flowers in blossom with a little girl and a pond. The mural was painted in the summer of 2021.

I happened to visit during the tree bloosom in the spring this year, which made a good photograph. Unfortunately, there was a taxi parked there.

I also wanted to add a photograph of a woman painted in the summer of 2020 in Hackney as part of London Mural Fest. The mural is located on Mare Street, and it features Theresa. Theresa was born in Hackney to parents from Sierra Leone, and she often visits Ridley Road market. I captured the photograph in the spring of 2021, but it had been tagged over.

This is my first post covering the artwork of Abraham.O, although I've captured his street art previously. Abraham.O is a street artist from El Salvador, and his work is instantly recognisable. He paints realistic portraits in greyscale, and he often adds touches of colour to the artwork, such as an item of clothing or background. His work also can include a red or pink hummingbird. The subjects in the portraits are interesting subjects, and his work is really eye-catching. Many of them are from various countries in Latin America, and they are typically members of community or society who are often over-looked. I captured a couple of these murals during the street walk I had with London Calling Blog at the end of 2021, and the others were captured on following visits.

"Historian" is the artist's newest work in Penge, and it was painted in the spring. The work features traditional dance and subjects of religion, community, and migration (the colonization of the Americas by the Iberian people). The "Historians" is a dance known as "Moors and Christains", which is a blend of drama performed by the Spanish people at defeating the Moors. The subject is dressed in traditional dance attire.

The next artwork is painted on a garage shutter, and it is titled "The Basket Seller". It depicts an elderly woman who has to sell baskets for a living, even at her old age, in the middle of San Salvador.

I am unsure of what the title of the next mural is, but it was also painted onto a shutter of a garage and depicts a child carrying a small bleating lamb over his or her shoulders. I imagine that this is a shepherd or shepherdess, covering his or her ears from the lamb's loud bleats.

The final mural in Penge is "Weavers", and it depicts a homeless woman of El Salvador. 

I do have photographs of more of Abraham.O's artwork across east London, so I will continue to post photographs of his work. 

Street artist Olivier Roubieu is known for painting realistic portraits. The portraits usually feature females, and they are beautifully-designed. The artist is from France and tries different styles in the execution of the portraits. In Penge, a mural by the artist was painted in a pub garden off of the high street in Penge. The subject is a woman dressed in white and holding a white umbrella and a coffee cup.

Street artist Artista is known for her cartoon illustration style of street art and her cutesy characters, such as toast with legs and flowers with eyes. Her main character is a triangle-shaped character with legs and eyes, and it represents the "A" for her tag. She often creates her illustration landscapes (normally floral subjects known as 'In Bloom') using features in the wall that she is painting on.

The work on St. John's Road in Penge encompasses the side of a large brick building, and it was painted in early 2021. The wall retains the natural bricks, but she has painted her new artwork on top of the bricks. The features already on the wall have been incorporated, such as a pipe and cameras become pupils in the eye of the flower.

SP:Zero is a street artist and illustrator based in Bristol, and his style of illustrator reminds me of comics and computer game art. The artist does create a variety of art from children's books to murals and for computer games, and he has done work for big brands such as Lamborghini, Samsung, BBC, and more. He has also painted all over the world. His work in Penge is one in the series "After the Robot Apocalypse - Back to Nature", and it was painted in 2019. The work in the series is for the comic that feature a post-apocalyse world where nature has reclaimed the Earth. The humans in the artwork are riding on motorcycles. 

The comic illustration style has a lot of finer details. The sign on the wall, located in the archway under the rail on Bycroft Road, has been made into a sign in the artwork.
