Street artist, Zabou, had longed to create a mural on the topic of Clockwork Orange, and jumped at the opportunity to create a large work on the exterior wall of Village Underground in Shoreditch.
Her work is cleverly designed to be “double-faced”, showing two aspects of the story. On the left
On the left, we see Alex (played by Malcolm McDowell) with a glass of milk; on the right he is undergoing treatment, wearing the distinctive medical head piece. The two halves are subtly separated by a glitch effect.

Cleverly done and massive too. I remember when the film came out but I was too young to watch it. Thanks for contributing Debbie.

I know I read the book but not sure if I saw the movie. This post has convinced I need to.

I saw it in the cinema before it was withdrawn, it was quite a film when it first came out and for that matter still is.

A very clever bit of street art. Oh how I wish the little towns out here in the bush would have the opportunity to have such fab creative works

I love Clockwork Orange (like Angloswiss I saw it early on and read the book, more than once I admit) and so I love this mural. Very well executed AND a clever concept. It’s such an iconic movie, the pictures of Alex are instantly recognisable. I’ve even been to a Halloween party once dressed like him!

And Shoreditch (grew up in Bethal Green) is the right place for such a mural. It is looking really good. I saw the film when it arrived in the cinema in the early seventies and also read the book. Both of them excellent works.
