Eye-catching: the graffiti mural on the Karpo building in King’s Cross
29 March 2012

The wraps have come off London’s largest ever urban art work, a vast mural on two sides of a six-storey building in King’s Cross.

Four street graffiti artists worked for three weeks to create the geometric design on the outside of a block on the corners of Euston Road and Belgrove Street.

The artists — London based Remi/Rough, Edinburgh’s Steve More, LX.One from Paris and LA-based Augustine Kofie — used 160 litres of spray paint and 150 litres of emulsion.

Mark Wilkie, of design agency The Narrative, which organised the project, said: “We wanted to celebrate everything great about this urban environment.”

The work was commissioned to mark the opening of a new “urban diner” in the building called Karpo.
