A street artist has unveiled his angel of Angell Town as he donated a bespoke piece of artwork to the estate in Brixton.

Ciaran Robinson, who goes by the name Lhouette, crafted his trademark silhouette set on a canvas made from a reconditioned forklift truck pallet and finished off with glossy resin.

The artwork could now be hung in the new Angell Town School, which is set to open its doors for the first time next month.

Mr Robinson gathered ideas for the piece during a visit to the estate earlier this month where he held a workshop with dozens of young people in Newbury House.

He said he wanted to add something colourful to liven up the estate and teach young people how to work with stencils and spray paint for the first time.

Mr Robinson, who has exhibited work at the Houses of Parliament, is best known for using the cut-out angel image often holding machine guns or set against pop culture icons on canvasses fashioned from discarded material.

The unveiling was attended by the London Community Foundation, which backed the Standard’s award-winning The Estate We’re In campaign in Angell Town last year.

Mr Robinson, from Luton, said he was inspired to visit the estate after reading about the Standard’s campaign.
