Sheffield street artist Phlegm created a gigantic graffiti mural featuring a crocodile at the ‘All Rights Destroyed Festival’ in Oslo, Norway.
The intense piece depicts a giant crocodile wrapped around an entire building. It was done in black, gray and white and shows creepy looking characters, who surface in most of Phlegm’s works, doing some dental work and removing the crocodile’s teeth. The detail in the incredible art work is unreal. Phlegm was able to recreate hundreds of scales for the the crocodile’s body and the eye of the beast humanizes the work.
The crocodile is hard to miss and the signature characteristics of his work on a new figure are sinister and sensational. Phlegm made a graffiti mural that is monstrous in size and creativity.
