Next up we are taking a look at a series of five artworks placed up during 2023 by Polish born, but London based, street artist Airborne Mark. We know that this artist has painted nine pieces this year so we have been lucky to see over half of his output over the last 12 months. Airborne Mark’s key focus in his art is origami, allowing him the chance to work his case studies in light and shadow through his favoured paper platforms. Of which he folds virtually all of his own reference models before photographing them in dramatic lighting and then ultimately painting them. Airborne Mark really is a one man production line. This year Airborne Mark has continued the motif of incorporating an additional accompaniment to his paper models, namely stationery in the form of paper clips, drawing pins, a rubber and plastic bags etc. This has made for some very interesting works that so naturally fit into the realm of paper whilst simultaneously allowing the artist to paint different structures and surfaces. Ever a pleasure to see art from this talented individual and we are hard pushed to pick a favourite from the below but it is between the rhino and scorpion for us.

The works below works were placed up with support from ourselves London Calling Blog for our SprayExhibition20 community mural project. We of course wish to say a big thank you to each of the respective generous space owners, who kindly donated a spot and trusted us to work it.  As well as a massive thank you to Airborne Mark for again visiting Penge – and Crystal Palace – to support this initiative and for, as always, leaving such a striking series of artworks in the process.
