Late summer brought some new street art to London, and I found a few new pieces around the Nomadic Community Gardens. Envol, Fanakapan, and Lolie Darko were three of the artists who contributed to the new street art walls. First up, Fanakapan painted a chrome monkey.
Envol, who paints portraits of birds, painted a bird on the wall of the bridge, and the opposite wall contained an advertising piece for a film "an inconvenient sequel, truth to power" about climate change.
Street artist Lolie Darko is a French street artist who is no stranger to painting and exhibiting in London. She tends to paint images of sad-looking children that are sometimes accompanied by text. Many of her pieces are monotone with the placement of a red balloon, umbrella, or other subject. "Why does it always rain on me?" is one of her most recent murals in London.
The final piece is "Knitty Gritty" and features the word "Candie" spelled out in knitted text with balls of yarn.
