The best thing about visiting the East End is that it is a haven for street art and you will always spot new art on each visit.
We spotted these pieces on the day we went to Lost in Light exhibition. I think Cept’s “I Love the Smell of Spray Paint in the Morning” is perhaps my favourite street art of all time.
I love this avian art by Nush Poke.
Not strictly street art, but I had recently watched Nosferatu.
I’ve always loved the tube trains and “Let’s Adore and Endure Each Other” art. Now there is a fascinating set of murals below – click on the image to see the detail. It’s quite exquisite.
I admire street art and often the artist is recognized by its style. Sometimes their "message" is spot on. What a great selection you show us and I totally enjoyed your "you may also enjoy" recommendations. This kind of art brightens up the walls in general.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day.
I agree. I love seeing otherwise drab and unloved areas brightened up by murals and street art
DeleteThere is a lot to be said for this kind of art, Mandy, no matter whatever else others might think. I'm a huge fan of it and saw a lot of it in Morlaix and Lorient, Brittany, France, last year. It all tells a story and is very creatively executed. So, thanks for sharing, since I'm a fan! Above "The world is watching" art it looks like a depiction of The Last Supper. Did you happen to get a photo of that? I'd love to see it, if so.
ReplyDeleteYes! Well spotted - here is another view of that wall - Link
DeleteThank you for sharing these, Mandy. I am a fan, too. Bristol is another great place for street art, especially in Bedminster
ReplyDeleteOh, Bristol has marvellous street art, I agree!
Deletei love street art, Mandy, and the ones you show are as good as they come. i imagine overtime they will get replaced with newer and more relevant content.
