South Bank Street Art Festival 2013

Last summer, several London-based street artists painted walls at South Bank for the South Bank Festival. Visitors could see the artists at work and also create their own. I have already blogged about the work by Phlegm and ROA, both well-known street artists, who created the two largest murals at South Bank. (Read the article here: Phlegm and ROA Street Art at South Bank.) Other street artists involved in the festival included Dan Kitchener, Stik, Wahaca, and Grems.

Dan Kitchener painted one of his unique city street scenes. This one features a city street scene with a lot of people carrying umbrellas. I enjoy seeing new pieces from him. This one was located at the back of the buildings. (I blogged about him last summer, and you can read the article and see more of his work here: Street Art: Dan Kitchener.)

Grems is a street artist from France, and his work is colourful; some of the work features a lot of shapes. I love the buildings mural below.

The following photograph contains additional work by Grems in the background. I am not sure about the artist who painted the other work.

Spzero and Squirl (along with the other street artists they collaborate with) created a mural on a wall at the back of one of the buildings on South Bank. It was difficult to get photographs of the mural as there were items in the foreground blocking it. However, here's a piece of the mural by Squirl.

Stik painted a mural under the bridge on South Bank of several stick figures. The stick figures started at babies and ended up as children and then families. The public painted clothing and other items on the figures to make them more colourful and individual. (You can see more work by Stik here: Street Art: Stik.)

Street artists Remed and Saner created a few pieces of street art for the Wahaca restaurant at South Bank. The murals are inspired by eastern and Mexican influences.

I am hoping that there is a South Bank festival with some new street art in store for 2014. I was not able to make it in 2013 and only snapped the photographs a couple of months later. It would be good to see the street artists at work.
