Following my visit to Reykjavik and coming across their amazing street art, I am now on the look out for interesting examples when out and about on my travels. I found some great examples of London street art on a visit to Brick Lane.
Brick Lane has been on the ‘to visit list’ for far too long and I eventually found the time to go. However, I wasn’t expecting the amazing street art I found! There is plenty of it and having a quick ‘google’ when I got home, there is lots more to see. There were several street art tours around the area giving the background stories if that is your thing.
I found a few more interesting ones during my London visit in Notting Hill, where there are a few by Banksy and Bethnal Green.
Roa is a Belgium street artist famous for large scale black and white animals. I found online that Roa started off painting a heron. However, when asked by the local Bengali community if it was a crane, a bird sacred to them, he changed tack and made the artwork into that instead.
If anyone knows any more detail about the artists or street art, please let me know.
Some interesting work by the artists, there’s a lot of talent out there.
I think though, that you should keep your images in colour rather than monochrome, to do justice to the artist.
Great shots.
