Penge Rooftop Gallery

 

Aways a pleasure to paint the multi story car park in Penge and always a great opportunity to try something new. This Micky and Mini mouse piece titled “Him & Her” was inspired by my “Father and Son piece I painted at Concrete Canvas Chelmsford.

With the top two floors of the Blenheim Cente multi-storey car park rarely used, the building owners, Hadley Property along with Clarion Housing worked with Penge-based blogger Steve from the London Calling blog. They allowed him access to the large space and permission to redecorate the blank concrete walls and surfaces of the car park as he saw fit with street art and graffiti, creating an outdoor street art gallery space.

Over the last number of months, he has been inviting street artists and graffiti writers down to Penge to paint the outdoor rooftop space and the level below. Many of the invited artists have previously painted walls and shutters in and around the SE20 area over the last number of years.

Every so often there are open days for the Penge Rooftop Gallery where general public can come view the Penge street art and graffiti on the top two floors of the Blenheim Centre. Public access to the Penge Rooftop Gallery is still somewhat restricted so be sure to keep an eye on the London Calling Instagram account for the next upcoming public access days.

Steve from the London Calling blog will be there during this time to discuss the artwork with anyone who wishes to come and enjoy over 120 artworks from this new community initiative.
