Jon Burgerman / Garden Of Eden Bushwick Mural, New York 2011
Now based in Brooklyn, seminal UK artist Jon Burgerman has been working closely with his neighbours Factory Fresh, Bushwick on this mural as part of the 2011 Pictoplasma New York City Festival.
Bushwick is an industrial area of Brooklyn that over the last few years has become the preferred haunt of young artists and galleries. Slowly it's being transformed into the epicentre of arts scene.
Jon's intention for the piece was to create a painting that you could walk into.
