Leading trade paint brand Leyland has brought a splash of colour to the streets of London following a generous donation of paint to the Street Art London project. The donation of paint from Leyland’s specially formulated exterior paint range, Truguard, was put to use as part of the project’s recent street art festivals in Dulwich and Chichester.
Leyland’s market-leading, BBA approved Truguard range, which is specifically designed to give a superior finish on all types of exterior masonry surface and is available in a wide range of colours, was the ideal partner for this creative street art project. The paint, which provides a high quality and durable finish, is formulated to resist damage from the elements, meaning the artwork will light up London for longer.
As part of the Dulwich project, an outdoor gallery of large-scale public murals, inspired by works held by England’s oldest public gallery, Dulwich Picture Gallery, was created. The festival, which was a resounding success, saw 20 top street artists reinterpreting classic images over the course of nine days and also included debates, tours of the artists’ work and the creation of a unique gallery in a house in Dulwich. Similarly, Street Art London’s festival in Chichester saw the creation of more than 10 large murals across the Cathedral City.
Richard Howard-Griffin, Founder of Street Art London said: "Street Art London is proud to partner with Leyland and endorse its excellent products. We particularly like the Truguard range and always use it when we work on walls. This is because Truguard is good value and can always be relied upon to get the most demanding of walls done. It covers well and has a great range of colours.”
