bishop pub mural

[Autofill]

I may have the name of the pub wrong but... Did they just paint over a significant mural on the side of the pub?

I know people don't consider murals important but this one was painted by a significant artist

 

Mural by Remi/Rough, side wall of The Bishop, Crawthew Grove and Lordship Lane, East Dulwich, London SE22 8EW

Think it’s been gone a while?

I hadn’t realised it had been painted over. Seems a damn shame.

It wasn't one of the murals connected with the project reinterpreting  paintings from Dulwich Picture Gallery, so far as I know,  so I guess nobody was protecting it or bothered about it, sadly.

It was awful, in my opinion.

Muriel’s of rats with dogs heads .I ask ye.

I liked it! 

I'm very glad the one on the side of what is now The Lordship has gone though.

But sad about the one which used to be up by The Plough and was painted over with something else completely.

I hear it's going to replaced by William Bouguereau's 1850 Dante and Virgil in Hell, or Mattia Preti's Martyrdom of St Peter, circa 1660.

That so called mural was blander than white rice on a jacket potato. With no butter. Get rid.

If you think that was  bland, I'd be interested to know what art works you consider to be less bland 🤣

But anyway, it's already gone.

Oi, Sue. This could take some time. How long have we got?   xx

Nah, the windows of the men’s bogs are in the wrong place for either of those.

Good point. How about Rossetti's Lady Lilith circa 1868, would that work? Wouldn't want to upset Noah and Isla's nanny when she's on her way back from Gatwick.

Just because something is abstract doesn’t make it dull… 

Also the artist is a respected artist who has created street art all over london and the world. Commissioned by councils as well. The piece deserved to be protected

What piece needs to be protected, the one that's been painted over?  

[sebastiondangerfield]

The price of drink needs to be ‘protected’ hi

So , if you are going to charge double the price of a pint you put a Muriel on your gable wall of a pink elephant.

it didn’t work.

Autofill (great name, btw) said "deserved", not "deserves".

Yes, I read it incorrectly.  It still deserved to be painted over though 👀

It was looking very faded and not a patch on how it looked originally. I’d have preferred to see it re-done but seeing as that’s no longer an option, another mural would look good there.

Was on Crawthew Grove yesterday morning talking to a lady about the new mural. Because it's on the side of The Bishop she said the new artwork should be a bishop banging his bishop. Not sure why she was giggling. Anyway, thought this was a good idea so I've emailed Justin Welby and Rowan Williams to see if they'd like to get involved. Keep you posted   x
