With the spectre of gentrification hanging over the railway arches in Brixton we went down to do our small part to raise the profile of the #Savebrixtonarches campaign by painting up some shutters alongside a few other artists. It may not be much against the juggernaut of urban redevelopment but it gets us out of the house on a Sunday at least.

 

Once we'd arrived and found our spot we managed to draw some inspiration from the red and blue 'HOT' and 'COLD' lettering above the shutters to give us a colour scheme to work with and some idea of where we were headed. After we'd got that much nailed it was pretty much plain sailing. This design is reasonably minimal for us and it took a fair amout of willpower to overcome the urge to get a load more paint on the shutters and just walk away once it was completed. Righto, what's next?

 

Cheers (and a big thanks to Monoprixx for taking the shot!)
