Here at Hookedblog, we are already planning our return visit to Antwerp for a second visit to the exhibition now that all the works have been finished.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-pu5vlm8GKLQ\/Wd1MmzXMReI\/AAAAAAAAHvs\/K6IjNBXPxCMDY0BXsLB0MR5Sehkz55uwQCLcBGAs\/s1600\/ROA_13_HOOKEDBLOG_PHOTO_%25C2%25A92017_MARK_RIGNEY.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"Belgian street artist ROA at work in his studio\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"666\" data-original-width=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-pu5vlm8GKLQ\/Wd1MmzXMReI\/AAAAAAAAHvs\/K6IjNBXPxCMDY0BXsLB0MR5Sehkz55uwQCLcBGAs\/s1600\/ROA_13_HOOKEDBLOG_PHOTO_%25C2%25A92017_MARK_RIGNEY.jpg\" title=\"Belgian street artist ROA at work in his studio.\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cbe\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/be\u003E \u003Cbe\u003EROA at work on one of the large pieces painted on wooden panel reclaimed from an old church during his six-week residency in the gallery.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-Wp8yAHrn22k\/Wd1NMF6mDpI\/AAAAAAAAHv0\/JfN6gZnDI94FgJt_jqcWt2oZfRuT5uz7ACLcBGAs\/s1600\/ROA_12_HOOKEDBLOG_PHOTO_%25C2%25A92017_MARK_RIGNEY.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"Belgian street artist ROA at work in his studio.\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"666\" data-original-width=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-Wp8yAHrn22k\/Wd1NMF6mDpI\/AAAAAAAAHv0\/JfN6gZnDI94FgJt_jqcWt2oZfRuT5uz7ACLcBGAs\/s1600\/ROA_12_HOOKEDBLOG_PHOTO_%25C2%25A92017_MARK_RIGNEY.jpg\" title=\"\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-NQ_qKUZJzm4\/Wd1NzRrs08I\/AAAAAAAAHwA\/1NrwmrZPu_0cjLeidwXCfrX9QGMh7uS1wCLcBGAs\/s1600\/ROA_05_HOOKEDBLOG_PHOTO_%25C2%25A92017_MARK_RIGNEY.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"Belgian street artist ROA at work in his studio.\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"666\" data-original-width=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-NQ_qKUZJzm4\/Wd1NzRrs08I\/AAAAAAAAHwA\/1NrwmrZPu_0cjLeidwXCfrX9QGMh7uS1wCLcBGAs\/s1600\/ROA_05_HOOKEDBLOG_PHOTO_%25C2%25A92017_MARK_RIGNEY.jpg\" title=\"\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-4iWfrYYJ4hM\/Wd1N4ByLotI\/AAAAAAAAHwE\/Lugi9Pjat_cVvWB9Qb0iLJbJ30iYa5ubACLcBGAs\/s1600\/ROA_10_HOOKEDBLOG_PHOTO_%25C2%25A92017_MARK_RIGNEY.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"666\" data-original-width=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-4iWfrYYJ4hM\/Wd1N4ByLotI\/AAAAAAAAHwE\/Lugi9Pjat_cVvWB9Qb0iLJbJ30iYa5ubACLcBGAs\/s1600\/ROA_10_HOOKEDBLOG_PHOTO_%25C2%25A92017_MARK_RIGNEY.jpg\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-WzNxRznYsnQ\/Wd1OBS9PnTI\/AAAAAAAAHwM\/EzmbztZmXpw4w6GmLj13qDZNCP9EhcuGQCLcBGAs\/s1600\/ROA_07_HOOKEDBLOG_PHOTO_%25C2%25A92017_MARK_RIGNEY.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"666\" data-original-width=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-WzNxRznYsnQ\/Wd1OBS9PnTI\/AAAAAAAAHwM\/EzmbztZmXpw4w6GmLj13qDZNCP9EhcuGQCLcBGAs\/s1600\/ROA_07_HOOKEDBLOG_PHOTO_%25C2%25A92017_MARK_RIGNEY.jpg\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-Rx-vLgn3NOk\/Wd1OA3a3EyI\/AAAAAAAAHwI\/NBooaqhfJH07qpyT-7yG02k2USKhqwbpQCLcBGAs\/s1600\/ROA_08_HOOKEDBLOG_PHOTO_%25C2%25A92017_MARK_RIGNEY.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"666\" data-original-width=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-Rx-vLgn3NOk\/Wd1OA3a3EyI\/AAAAAAAAHwI\/NBooaqhfJH07qpyT-7yG02k2USKhqwbpQCLcBGAs\/s1600\/ROA_08_HOOKEDBLOG_PHOTO_%25C2%25A92017_MARK_RIGNEY.jpg\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-yVCNkJdrLWk\/Wd1OFvs_FOI\/AAAAAAAAHwQ\/CRlRxBCn6uEeSqtMr0kfGChYhJ8kCQJQQCLcBGAs\/s1600\/ROA_11_HOOKEDBLOG_PHOTO_%25C2%25A92017_MARK_RIGNEY.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"666\" data-original-width=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-yVCNkJdrLWk\/Wd1OFvs_FOI\/AAAAAAAAHwQ\/CRlRxBCn6uEeSqtMr0kfGChYhJ8kCQJQQCLcBGAs\/s1600\/ROA_11_HOOKEDBLOG_PHOTO_%25C2%25A92017_MARK_RIGNEY.jpg\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe exhibition opened to the public on Saturday 7 October 2017 and will run at the space\u0026nbsp;until the \u003Cb\u003E7th January 2018.\u003C\/b\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cb\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/b\u003E \u003Cb\u003ELocation:\u003C\/b\u003E At The Gallery -

Based out of Madrid the artist is known for her figurative portraits but on the occasion of the festival, she painted a large floral themed mural on account of a large number of windows on the building she was painting. The apartment buildings many windows would have made painting a figurative mural rather difficult.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ELula also had to deal with the Irish weather, Hurricane Gert hit the country while we were in town and this proved problematic for the artist who was using emulsion house paint for her Waterford mural - at one point the paint was running off the walls as a result of the heavy rains! Lula fashioned a makeshift poncho from some plastic and continued working during the breaks in the weather.

With a passion for wildlife he is on a mission to paint large-scale street art murals in as many places as possible in efforts to to raise awareness for his cause. From big cities such as New York,\u0026nbsp;Johannesburg\u0026nbsp;and now Waterford  to rural villages, Sonny is using his art to enrich communities and to honour these animals that are so important to him. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EFor his striking Waterford mural the artist painted a large scale roaring tiger which he has named ‘Electric Fury’. As is often the case we unfortunatly did not get to see the finished mural finished in person during our stay in Waterford for the festival. With torrential rains and strong winds, the Irish weather was not making it easy for Sonny and this delayed him starting work on the wall having to change his flight to ensure the wall was completed. We did however catch up with him at work and have shared a photo of the completed Waterford mural Sonny shared on his instagram account below. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cblockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-version=\"7\" style=\"background: #fff; border-radius: 3px; border: 0; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0 , 0 , 0 , 0.5) , 0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0 , 0 , 0 , 0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 658px; padding: 0; width: 99.375%;\"\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"background: #F8F8F8; line-height: 0; margin-top: 40px; padding: 50.0% 0; text-align: center; width: 100%;\"\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"background: url(data:image\/png; display: block; height: 44px; margin: 0 auto -44px; position: relative; top: -22px; width: 44px;\"\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BYLWE4pnXyk\/\" style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" target=\"_blank\"\u003EA post shared by Sonny (@sonnysundancer)\u003C\/a\u003E on \u003Ctime datetime=\"2017-08-24T12:54:15+00:00\" style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px;\"\u003EAug 24, 2017 at 5:54am PDT\u003C\/time\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/blockquote\u003E\u003Cscript async=\"\" defer=\"\" src=\"\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"\u003E\u003C\/script\u003E \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: x-large;\"\u003ELondon Exhibition\u2028\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: x-large;\"\u003E—\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u2028As part of his #totheboneproject an exhibition of all original\u0026nbsp;artworks is set to be held in London – not details yet on the location or dates!

Nearby beach huts on oversized wheels, the cities many birds and seagulls all feature in the work.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EIt would appear luck was on our side on this trip as our second visit across the harbour to Phlegms mural was timed just right and as we arrived the artist was moving the lift away from his finished wall. Lifts and parked cars are a nightmare for those of us documenting street art and murals!! Not one afraid of heights we wasted no time jumping into the lift to capture some of the detail of the artists mark marking as well as the many mischievous creatures hiding out in the larger creatures fur. Have a look at some of the characters and details in the images below along with our photos of the completed work.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/hookedblog\/34186941456\/in\/dateposted\/\" title=\"Phlegm_10_HOOKEDBLOG_PHOTO_©2017_MARK_RIGNEY\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"Phlegm_10_HOOKEDBLOG_PHOTO_©2017_MARK_RIGNEY\" height=\"666\" src=\"https:\/\/c1.staticflickr.com\/3\/2915\/34186941456_1e03f4a816_b.jpg\" width=\"1000\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/hookedblog\/34095838051\/in\/dateposted\/\" title=\"Phlegm_03_HOOKEDBLOG_PHOTO_©2017_MARK_RIGNEY\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"Phlegm_03_HOOKEDBLOG_PHOTO_©2017_MARK_RIGNEY\" height=\"666\" src=\"https:\/\/c1.staticflickr.com\/3\/2947\/34095838051_9d87a313a2_b.jpg\" width=\"1000\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/hookedblog\/34226705855\/in\/photostream\/\" title=\"Phlegm_05_HOOKEDBLOG_PHOTO_©2017_MARK_RIGNEY\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"Phlegm_05_HOOKEDBLOG_PHOTO_©2017_MARK_RIGNEY\" height=\"666\" src=\"https:\/\/c1.staticflickr.com\/3\/2849\/34226705855_1503a1443b_b.jpg\" width=\"1000\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EClose up detail of some of the characters hiding out in the larger character.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/hookedblog\/34069566342\/in\/photostream\/\" title=\"Phlegm_02_HOOKEDBLOG_PHOTO_©2017_MARK_RIGNEY\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"Phlegm_02_HOOKEDBLOG_PHOTO_©2017_MARK_RIGNEY\" height=\"666\" src=\"https:\/\/c1.staticflickr.com\/3\/2812\/34069566342_1d0250f776_b.jpg\" width=\"1000\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cb\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/uk.pinterest.com\/hookedblog\/\"\u003EFollow our Hookedblog Pinterest Boards for even more Street Art.\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/b\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/hookedblog\/33843484550\/in\/photostream\/\" title=\"Phlegm_09_HOOKEDBLOG_PHOTO_©2017_MARK_RIGNEY\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"Phlegm_09_HOOKEDBLOG_PHOTO_©2017_MARK_RIGNEY\" height=\"666\" src=\"https:\/\/c1.staticflickr.com\/3\/2949\/33843484550_c215df582d_b.jpg\" width=\"1000\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/hookedblog\/34096727441\/in\/photostream\/\" title=\"Phlegm_11_HOOKEDBLOG_PHOTO_©2017_MARK_RIGNEY\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"Phlegm_11_HOOKEDBLOG_PHOTO_©2017_MARK_RIGNEY\" height=\"666\" src=\"https:\/\/c1.staticflickr.com\/3\/2866\/34096727441_6a6c9bfef5_b.jpg\" width=\"1000\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/hookedblog\/33843489510\/in\/photostream\/\" title=\"Phlegm_07_HOOKEDBLOG_PHOTO_©2017_MARK_RIGNEY\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"Phlegm_07_HOOKEDBLOG_PHOTO_©2017_MARK_RIGNEY\" height=\"666\" src=\"https:\/\/c1.staticflickr.com\/3\/2931\/33843489510_4bc3eba575_b.jpg\" width=\"1000\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/hookedblog\/33843487150\/in\/photostream\/\" title=\"Phlegm_08_HOOKEDBLOG_PHOTO_©2017_MARK_RIGNEY\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"Phlegm_08_HOOKEDBLOG_PHOTO_©2017_MARK_RIGNEY\" height=\"666\" src=\"https:\/\/c1.staticflickr.com\/3\/2833\/33843487150_cb2cc33312_b.jpg\" width=\"1000\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/hookedblog\/34187384336\/in\/dateposted\/\" title=\"Phlegm_12_HOOKEDBLOG_PHOTO_©2017_MARK_RIGNEY\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"Phlegm_12_HOOKEDBLOG_PHOTO_©2017_MARK_RIGNEY\" height=\"666\" src=\"https:\/\/c1.staticflickr.com\/3\/2837\/34187384336_4e09b83e91_b.jpg\" width=\"1000\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Hookedblog\/\" imageanchor=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-mIq3sdRO9eE\/WP0BhnyDQmI\/AAAAAAAAHM0\/qIHH0zXtnBMFsq37r1uQDWWMuq0MQtZBACLcB\/s1600\/Phlegm_01_HOOKEDBLOG_PHOTO_%25C2%25A92017_MARK_RIGNEY.jpg\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-mIq3sdRO9eE\/WP0BhnyDQmI\/AAAAAAAAHM0\/qIHH0zXtnBMFsq37r1uQDWWMuq0MQtZBACLcB\/s1600\/Phlegm_01_HOOKEDBLOG_PHOTO_%25C2%25A92017_MARK_RIGNEY.jpg\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe completed mural by Phlegm in Ostend, Belgium.
