And I don’t mean creatures to be seen in the fields of London. I mean creatures to be seen in a particular place in London called London Fields. Until recently, I knew London Fields only as the title of a Martin Amis book.
But, earlier this month I journeyed out to London Fields, to see it and to meet up with a friend.
And I photoed creatures.
Photo 1:
The creature with the devilish horns being the bit that particularly interested me. The rest is, to me, incomprehensible.
Even more impressive, creature-wise, was this:
In this we observe two creatures combining to mimic a third creature. Rather good, I think. I wouldn’t want to shrink it and have it permanently on a wall in my home. It’s not that good. But I like that I could photo it.
Here is the original photo from which the above square was picked out, which included a human:
London seems to be divided into places where this sort of thing is allowed, and even encouraged, and the far greater number of places where it is very much not allowed. I live in the latter sort of place, which is duller, but maybe also safer.
London Fields, the book (see above), is a tale about a murder.
Brian, I was doing a bit of Google searching inspired by this post for similar things near to where I live in Lewisham and came across this. https://www.eastlondonlines.co.uk/2020/03/lewisham-art-company-on-a-mission-to-raise-enough-funds-to-teach-locals-the-art-of-muralism/ It seems there is a a difference between graffiti and what is known as muralism, and indeed the muralists also learn how to keep graffiti at bay. I wonder whether you see a link between this and colour in architecture?
