Nissan LEAF® Helps to Create “Reverse Graffiti” Mural

Oct 6, 2014

Reverse Graffiti Artist Moose recently created a large-scale mural in the subway on Station’s Approach, Waterloo in London, England. This mural was commissioned by Nissan as a creative way to highlight the ongoing air pollution problem in the city of London cause mainly by vehicle emissions. This projects was done as part of Nissan’s campaign to get more people interested in zero-emissions vehicles such as the Nissan LEAF in order to reduce this ongoing pollution issue.

As a Reverse Graffiti artist, Moose creates his artwork through the unique process of removing dirt and grime from a wall through the use of a power washer or wire brush and leaving a negative image in its place. For the mural in London, Moose used a power washer that was powered by energy from the battery of a Nissan LEAF. The images created by Moose depicted several historical London landmarks such as Buckingham Palace, Battersea Power Station, The Shard and The London Eye.

“I’ve been using reverse graffiti for fifteen years now – in fact I named it,” said explained Moose, who originates from Leeds. “My whole ethos is about highlighting the amount of pollution we endure daily using a very positive harmless method that never fails to ask questions about what we accept and what we shouldn’t accept in our environment. For these reasons I was keen to be involved in this project. Electric cars and alternative fuelling systems provide the brightest future we’ve ever known in the history of the automotive industry in terms of protecting our environment. It’s a pleasure to be given the opportunity to create public art in this way, and I’m very pleased with the iconic simplicity of the mural and its message.”
