Street artists invited to decorate development hoardings with graffiti

Street artists have made their mark with vibrant graffiti works outside a development in Kidbrooke.

Housing association Notting Hill Genesis partnered with Global Street Art (GSA) to invite South London artists to paint murals on the hoardings around its development in Kidbrooke Square.

The artists – Shine, Quest, Astek, Anoe, Omus, Dahkoh, Dskus, Farz, and Noys – spent a few days working together to create the piece.

The artwork has been created as part of London Mural Festival, an event organised by GSA ,which celebrates some of the world’s best street artists and features more than 100 murals across the capital.

Notting Hill Genesis intends to incorporate the artwork into the development, featuring the hoardings as part of a meanwhile use, pop-up market which will be launched next year.

Louise Hervouet, commissions and public art lead at GSA, said: “We’ve collaborated with a range of partners this year who have provided us with the spaces for our artists to express themselves.

“It was great to work with Notting Hill Genesis to find an innovative use for the hoardings. They were particularly committed to supporting local street artists, and thanks to their support, we were able to host a graffiti jam session on site, bringing together celebrated artists across four generations of the artform.  We’re thrilled with the end result!”

Once complete, Kidbrooke Square will feature 600 new homes alongside community spaces including a co-working space and a public square to host events such as monthly markets.
