Female Artists Take Over Penge Outdoor Gallery Rooftop

WOM Inspired 23 taking place at the Penge Outdoor Gallery

Established by our friends at London Calling Blog, the Penge Outdoor Gallery has become known for it’s range of artworks. Every few months the street art here changes though it’s only open at certain times. The space occupies the top two floors of a car park which has long been closed to the public.

Murals by Female Artists

Celebrating international women’s day, it’s the first time that the location has been painted exclusively by female artists. Curated by the WOM Collective, the murals have been spread across the entirety of the space. It’s a good use for a location that will ultimately be redeveloped along with the old Blenheim Centre in Penge.

For the artists taking part, the whole space has taken over a month to re-paint. Standout works in the gallery include large scale murals from Lours, VaneMG, Hazard and Shauna Blanchfield with collaboration pieces from Tamoonz and Nush Poke and from Elno and Roo. Other major pieces include murals from Mowcka, Layla Cope, LeSpleen, Van Jimmer, Curiouser and Curiouser and Jeru.
