    A mural has been painted in Brixton to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Marvin Gaye’s album 'What’s Going On'.

    It was created by artist Neequaye Dreph Dsane, also known as Dreph, who wanted to "touch on past and contemporary societal issues".

    The 48-year-old said: "The picket signs reference the lyrics from the title track and words taken from song titles of the album. The symbols on them represent contemporary movements campaigning to address the climate crisis, gender inequality and world peace."

    The 16ft (4.9m) mural, commissioned by Universal Music Group, is located near Brixton police station and references the Brixton riots of 1981, which sees its 40th anniversary this year.

    "It was an honour to make artwork in celebration of such an iconic album, from such a legendary artist. It is disappointing though, that many of the lyrics of the album are still so pertinent. This painting for me is a recognition of today, with hope for a better tomorrow."
