Since my original post about street artist Christiaan Nagel (here), who adds mushrooms to the streets, I have discovered a few more of his mushrooms. He has also recently visited London to collaborate on a mural with Pang (covered here) off of Brick Lane. I'm happy to see more mushrooms appearing in London as quite a few of them have since broken apart and are missing.
The collaboration with artist Pang is titled 'The Death of Ego'. It is a mixed-media artwork made for PITCHed and Matched, a group who have published mugshots of artists with their work to give street art a higher representation instead of viewing it as criminal damage. The artwork showcases both styles and media of artwork. Pang uses black and white illustrations for her other-worldly figures while Nagel uses the foam and fiberglass to create the mushrooms and colour-in some of the detail in the work.
Pang even incorporated the masks that Gregos (covered here) pasted on the wall awhile ago into the work.
For more photographs of mushrooms across London, see below.
Hopefully we will see more mushrooms appear on London's buildings.
