Leigh984, The creative portfolio of Leigh Spencer

The entrance to the now disused and filled in Southgates pedestrian underpass in the centre of Leicester has become one of leicester`s increasing number of legal street art zones, areas where street artists can practice their art in a safe and legal way, whilst also turning areas of the city that would otherwise become forgotten, into ever evolving open air galleries.

I visited St Margaret`s Underpass in Leicester which in association with GraffHQ, Graffwerk and Leicester City Council has been recently (at time of publication) designated a Legal painting site or "Community Zone"  for artists to create Street Art. In my film I take a look at some of the work on display in the atmospheric location and we see artists like BenZArt working on their pieces as the traffic of the city passes overhead.
