For our next blog post catching up with 2024, we are back in our corner of South-East London and looking at a pair of stunning largescale artworks from visiting Hawaiian artist and graffiti writer Zoinky, who spent a few months in London from late 2023 to early 2024. One of our favourite things about the scene is the continuous exposure to work from new artists, and it was an absolute pleasure to have this artist come to London and leave an array of diverse subjects – abstract, dreamlike realism and letter works – all imbued with his distinct style and striking purple and blue heavy colour palette. For this pair of works – presenting two out of three large scale works the artist painting in London, with the other being in Hackney Wick – Zoinky painted two floral inspired compositions piece which were both rich in textures and colours. Whilst both of the works below are exceptional, the one in Padua Road is our favourite of the two. This superb pair of works were placed with support from ourselves London Calling Blog for our SprayExhibition20 community mural project in SE20.

We would like to offer a big thank you to each of the wall owners who generously donated their respective spaces to our community project. As well as a massive thank you to Zoinky for generously donating his time by painting for our non-funded and non-profit project and leaving such a beautiful pair of artworks for ourselves and the townsfolk to enjoy every day.

Work in Southey Street, at the heart of Penge’s High Street. This striking artwork featuring a series of flowers and a Phoenix in flight which is so full of life truly commands your attention upon passing it.

Bloom in Padua Road. This incredible artwork is nothing short of stunning, the colours, the light effect and the subject each combine to offer such a powerful sense of life and energy. Captivating to say the least and a privilege to have been able to host in our hometown.
