Phlegm & my car !

Bruegel Street Art route
Brussels has chosen, among other things, to celebrate the 450th anniversary of Bruegel's death by dotting the city centre with street art murals inspired by the artist's universe.
It's the Farm Prod collective, along with several other artists, who are presenting their art in the streets of Brussels. The artworks form a journey that can be discovered in whichever way you please: in order or not, in full or bit by bit. Just follow the guide!

Phlegm has a great fondness for Bruegel. The artist himself mainly works with the aerosol can, but also works with classical printing techniques. Like Bruegel, he engraves and loves to cast bizarre figures from his fantasy world into a narrative structure. His work ranges from mini engravings with masterful detail to gigantic murals and comic books. The many surprising details in his work and the choice of black and white are also reminiscent of Bruegel's prints.

In March and April 2019, Phlegm transformed an old factory on Milton Street in Sheffield, with an incredible large-scale immersive sculpture exhibition, called the Mausoleum of the Giants.

Phlegm is a world-renowned artist, cartoonist, illustrator, and muralist, who lives in Sheffield but has painted walls across the globe. You can find lots of examples of his distinctive illustrative street art across the city, often featuring in urban landscapes and disused spaces.
Phlegm creates surreal illustrations to an untold story, weaving a visual narrative that explores the unreal through creatures from his imagination. His style has a sort of gothic storybook aesthetic, depicting his signature long-limbed half-human, half-woodland characters, in intricate monochrome detail.
A shed load of older shots. Apparently all the pieces, even the majority of the tags, in the 'hotel' have been buffed now. Not happy.
Pandemic Diary 2020 Phlegm
When the global COVID 19 began, Phlegm started to document his observations of daily life in lockdown in the form of a series of drawings that he shared online. These drawings blur the reality of the pandemic with the imaginary world he has created over his career. A world full of long-limbed forest creatures, fantastic contraptions and hybrid cities that seem to grow organically. By the end of lockdown, Phlegm had created 67 pen and ink drawings and one engraving, together they form Pandemic Diary
“Pandemic Diary was an unplanned reaction to this sudden threat to our lives. As a body of work, it was an immersive and cathartic way of processing a world in flux. To have this very personal collection kept together and held in Sheffield couldn't be more perfect. Sheffield is where I started out and found my voice as an artist and it will always feel like home” - Phlegm
Thank to funding from the Contemporary Arts Society Rapid Response Fund, Pandemic Diary has become part of Sheffield's collections for future generations.
Pandemic Diary 2020 was on public display at the Graves Art Gallery, Sheffield between 3rd September 2021 and 15th January 2022
