Camille Walala covers Brooklyn building in colourful Memphis-style graphics



British artist Camille Walala has painted the facade of a building in Brooklyn's Industry City with geometric patterns and bold colours, completed to coincide with this month's NYCxDesign festival.
The 40-metre-high mural covers the front of a seven-storey building, which forms part of a former industrial complex that now houses creative workspaces, production facilities and event venues.
The site, built in the early 1900s, is hosting the WantedDesign Brooklyn exhibition this week as part of the city's annual design festival.

Commissioned by WantedDesign, Walala has transformed the building's brick wall with her signature graphics, which take influences from the Memphis design movement from 1980s Italy and include trompe l'oeil visual trickery. "Drawing on influences including the Memphis Movement, the Ndebele tribe and Victor Vasarely, Walala has an irrepressible enthusiasm for playful, graphic patterns that invoke a smile," said a statement.
Most of the facade is coloured pale pink with darker diagonal stripes, bordered by black and white squares, and a thin cobalt outline that blends with the sky.

An L-shaped motif that appears three-dimensional frames each of the windows, combining blue, teal, yellow and red.
"The site is bathed in the most beautiful colours at sunset, which has inspired my palette for the project," said Walala. "The design has been inspired by the architecture of the building, particularly the repetition of the windows."...
