It’s been a few month since we last provided a full update on the various happenings in Croydon’s Arts Quarter, but that doesn’t mean we haven’t been popping by to keep abreast of the developments. In that time we have reported on the stunning pieces from David Hollier (covered here) and Mr Cenz (covered here) however we also have a nice range of Street Art and Graffiti to share with you.
This superb and captivating work in Croydon features aviation pioneer Amy Johnson, with a particular symbolic placing in Croydon as she was the first woman to fly solo to Australia, taking off from Croydon Airport in 1933.

Work by ??? in St George’s Walk.
Fantastic and intriguing work from Illustre Feccia, of the Minesweeper Collective, on Katherine Street. This work represent the dichotomies between ‘instinct’ on the left and the ‘primitive’ on the right, ‘intellect’ versus ‘death’ tied together through the connection of thoughts. On an aesthetic level the sketch like effect was impressively created through the use of dry paint on a brush to be used like a pencil.

One of two works put up by Dotmasters in Croydon High Street, the first works put up as part of the Croydon Mural Project, which will see more works placed about the town centre beyond the Arts Quarter.
This large-scale Toy character was created without the use of stencils and looks just great, standing over Croydon High Street.
