New wall art with a punk twist on St James's Street

Brand new wall art of Freddie Mercury has been posted up in pride of place in St James’s Street on the wall of the Sussex Beacon shop by international pasting art sensations The Postman Art.

The group has replaced the previous artwork with a new colourful version, complete with Red Ribbon for World Aids Day (WAD), and has also replaced two images on Prowler’s shopfront, which had suffered vandalism, with images of trans non-binary performers Amanda Lepore and Honey Dijon.

The Postman Art, known for their iconic images of rebels served with a punk twist, said: “Our works aim to cheer up the public during these strange times. We aim to celebrate LGBTQ+ culture in an impactful, yet respectful, culturally aware manner."

“St James’s Street now sports two trans and nonbinary activists and performers, Amanda Lepore and Honey Dijon for Prowler and Freddie for the Beacon Shop, in honour of Trans Week of Visibility and WAD. Check ’em out and grab a picture of yourself with Freddie, and share on social media.”
