THE APPEARANCE of the world’s most photographed women in a Brighton alleyway is the latest in a number of jokes and games being played out on the city’s walls, a prominent street artist has revealed.

Graffiti artist Aroe MSK painted this cheeky artwork of a naked Kim Kardashian on the side of a house in Oxford Place in Brighton as part of an ongoing game within his own work.

He also revealed that a giant Homer and Bart Simpson he painted on a house in Hartington Road, Brighton, earlier this year was part of an ongoing and good-natured feud between two of the city’s biggest landlords.

The renowned street artist has also praised Cityclean, who he said he had come to an understanding with over his work and welcomed the way the city embraces graffiti.

Aroe said his latest work, inspired by the famous photo shoot of the American celebrity for magazine Paper, which aimed to “break the internet”, was part of a game.

He told The Argus he was paid by one prominent city landlord to transform the house as part of an ongoing joke with the property's landlord, who was away on holiday at the time.

He said: “When the other guy came back he loved it.

In his new piece Aroe left off the bottom of the “s” which he uses to signify the MSK art collective he belongs to.

He said: “So I thought about painting the bottom of the “s” somewhere and I just thought what is the most famous bottom in the world.

“I’m hoping to make the bottom of my “s” as famous as her bottom.”

Aroe said graffiti should be “celebrated” in an “artistic, open-minded and creative” place like Brighton and Hove, which he has called home for more than 25 years after first coming here for a night-out in the early 1990s.

The artist said his latest work in Oxford Place had greatly improved an area that was previously covered in indiscriminate and random graffiti including 'tags' - a kind of signature of a graffiti artist.

He said: “I don’t always seek permission, sometimes if an area is rundown I just want it to look beautiful.

“It was covered in tags before and I think everybody who saw it would have said it was ugly.

“So I painted all the wall white and painted on Kim Kardashian and now no one else has written on the building.

“Not everyone will like it but no-one will like a wall covered in tags.”

He pointed to the success of the soon to be demolished buildings in Kensington Gardens as a way of well-designed graffiti keeping random tagging away from an area.

“It’s great now that when people see graffiti they whip out their phones to take a picture and not call the police" he added.
