This universe is a city-sized sketchbook, constantly being redrawn by the young minds who inhabit it. The buildings are made of easels and stretched canvases; rooftops drip with paint; fountains bubble with ink. The streets smell faintly of wax crayons and fresh paper.

Children rule here – not with authority, but with creativity. Everyone is issued a Magic Pencil, capable of turning imagination into reality. The High Street hosts live art battles, where young Rembrandts duel with brushstrokes and Van Goghs paint stories onto the sky. Sculptures grow from the ground like trees, and murals rearrange themselves when no one
is watching.

Each district is themed: the Oil Paint Quarter, the Charcoal Alleyways, the Watercolour Park. Future Picassos create immersive art you can walk through, hear, and even taste. The Art Club is more than a gallery – it’s a revolution of colour and childlike wonder.

This universe has been inspired by the evocative paintings of Delita Martin, Hulda Guzman, and Noah Davis. A mural on one of the walls depicts a likeness of Dev Hynes, also known as Blood Orange, an Ilford-born musician and recording artist.

Junior Ilford National Art Club is one of the worlds imagined by Studio Gil as part of their billboard commission, The Ilford multiverse.
