<div>&nbsp;It is again related to environment issues. Above all on how bad behaviors humans are wearing respect to nature in general. The term <em>teratology</em> stems from the Greek&nbsp; τέρας&nbsp; <em>teras</em>&nbsp; meaning “monster” or “marvel”, and λόγος&nbsp; <em>logos</em>, “the study of the word”. Generally It refers to the<strong> </strong>abnormalities of physiological development.</div><div>It is often thought of as developmental toxicity so the area includes also all manifestations of abnormal development that are caused by environmental insult. These may include growth retardation, delayed mental development or other congenital disorders without any structural malformations. Actually the term is related to biological deformities and teratogenesis refers to congenital malformations or individuals with significant malformations.</div><div>Rather, in my artwork the use of the word teratology goes to the meanings it had especially from the 16-17th century, a discourse on prodigies and marvels of anything so extraordinary as to seem abnormal. Unique and extraordinary creatures were considered to be prodigies. Many chroniclers tried to explain the existence of such departures from ‘normal’ by juxtaposing both natural causes (following Aristotle), and divine responsibility, (following St. Augustine’s idea that Nature reflects the will of God). Monsters were thus viewed as signs and portents through which God communicated with man. Especially during the religious wars of the 16th century, they were often interpreted as political or religious omens.</div><div>The wall would also be an homage to artists fascinated by the study of theories linking imagination, art, and monstrous progeny, both in renaissance and in the ‘900.</div><div>In my painting the girl (she has young face but hard arms as an adult) holds an angry cock with a body that reminds a goat or a lamb. One hand is embracing it, the other seems to keep it in a hard way. The position is similar to many ones in the religious iconography. On the shoulder of the girl another strange animal is holding a piece of meal. It has the astonished face of a curious fish and half body of a rat. On the top, close to the dirty bowl kept on the head of the girl, a worried pink monster fish.</div><div>Therefore the dark girl with green hair was more dusturbing in the sketch than as she appears in the final painting. Still don’t know if she is a human child spirit or a nature one, if she is saving these extraordinary creatures or if she is catching/hunting&nbsp; them (and to do what at final?), if she is part of the dangerous changing and if so, in what scary way? What is expected?&nbsp;</div>

The two were briefly in London en route back to Tel Aviv after painting a large mural in Germany and a commissioned piece in London, and decided to reclaim these wooden gates in East London which they had painted previously.

Martin Ron

Martin Ron: "The concept of this artwork is following a similar line that I have been doing for a while with the theme of urban surrealism generating situations of fantasy through painting in the street. The public enjoy the humour in my artworks and I very often choose an everyday theme. In this instance, the badger that has been in the news a lot in the UK and was in fact the first news I heard about after I got here. After arriving in London I went to stay in the house of a friend in Oxford and when I turned on the television there was a story about British Prime Minister David Cameron wanting to kill badgers or reduce the population of badgers and the government was saying that the animals carry diseases. When I saw the news story I thought what a pretty animal, what is going on? I thought it would be a great concept for my next mural."

<div>Huge Brixton mural celebrates the 50th anniversary of Marvin Gaye’s ‘What’s Going On’<br><br>The stunning 16-foot piece mural, placed next to the police station on Canterbury Crescent, pays homage to the 40th anniversary of the 1981 Brixton Uprising – a watershed moment for race relations in the UK.<br><br>Growing tensions around racial inequality erupted into violent clashes between the predominantly Black youth of Brixton and the Metropolitan police force.<br>The uprising was sparked by the same police violence and injustice that Marvin Gaye sang about in What’s Going On. The riots took place over three days, devastating the community and injuring over 300 people.<br>Dreph’s art represents the musical message of What’s Going On, which still held its significance amongst police brutality and racial inequality in 1981 and continues to encourage today’s social justice movement.<br>The picket signs reference the lyrics from the title track and words taken from the album’s song titles within the piece. The symbols represent contemporary movements campaigning to address the climate crisis, gender inequality, and world peace.</div>

BUSK

<div>&nbsp;The piece was inspired by the industrial, hard-working past of the area whilst also celebrating the creative individuals and businesses who represent the Hackney Wick of today. The mural is completed with Busk letters in the background, framed in a vintage style border similar to the Clarnico Sweet Factory adverts of the early 1900s as a nod to the area’s past.</div><div>The mural was created by artist Busk in collaboration with Hackney's <a href="http://globalstreetart.com/">Global Street Art</a>. Based in his studio in Hackney Wick, Busk has been highly respected in the graffiti game since the 80s and is well known for his writing as well as being a versatile muralist. The streets of Hackney Wick are both his inspiration and his medium, and he has long been a local legend due to many signature pieces that pay homage to the old school writers scene.<br><br>Part of the London Mural Festival in 2020</div>

<div>At the corner of Keogh Road and Water Lane just around the corner of Maryland Overground station in Stratford you'll find this amazing feathery mural by Belgian muralista Adele Renault. &nbsp; It’s a delicate mural of what appear to be feathers. The work she says is dedicated to two local schoolchildren, Uche and Chichi, who stopped by everyday to see her work.&nbsp;<br><br>&nbsp;Adele Renault is an artist with a deft touch for that which most might find commonplace. From pigeons to people, she focuses her artistry on realistic depictions of ordinary city residents, on canvas as well as massive murals.&nbsp;</div>

<div>Turnpike Lane Art Group (TAG) and James Straffon created this heritage-focused installation to commemorate The Ritz Cinema. The cinema, designed by Major W.J. King, opened on 30th December 1935 as part of the scheme which included the new Turnpike Lane tube station and bus station, designed by London Transport’s architect Charles Holden. In August 1999 London Transport demolished the 1930’s bus station to make way for a larger depot, the cinema also consumed as part of the new scheme.<br><br>TAG began a dialogue with UK Power Networks to create the installation at their larger substation site on Carlingford Road, London N15, to commemorate the former Ritz Cinema - with a celebration of the Golden Age of Movies.<br><br>TAG began a year-long process to obtain the usage rights for some of the characters they proposed to incorporate. With a to-and-fro dialogue between London N15 and east and west coast movie studios based in the United States, consent was eventually given to allow some classic movie characters to form "The Ritz"<br><br>Source:&nbsp; The Turnpike Lane Art Group</div>
