New Swoon street art in East London

12 Dec ’119 Dec ’11

Brooklyn based street artist Swoon, real name Caledonia Dance Curry, yesterday put up some of her trademark paste-ups across East London. Swoon uses traditional wood cut techniques to render her evocative, ephemeral and realistic street art that draws inspiration from an array of historical and folk sources as well as people that she knows or meets on her travels. The results are exquisite, with an astounding level of craft and detail within each piece. Street Art London managed to find seven which are pictured below.

Swoon has visited London before and last year put up four pieces up on the street of which only one remains today. She also put up a piece a few weeks back (reported here) that was removed after just two days on the street. This year in London, Swoon has also been busy with other projects, having put on an exhibition at Black Rat Projects and delivered a lecture at the Bank of Ideas.

Invader: Brixton Invasion

9 Dec ’116 Dec ’11

It would seem that Invader has launched his ninth wave of Invasion against London – this time centring upon Brixton. Street Art London went down for a look and managed to find three new Invaders. There are probably more out there… Street Art London’s intelligence gathering unit is on high alert and will keep you updated if any new Invaders are found across London.

RUN hits Hackney Road

6 Dec ’113 Dec ’11

Last night, RUN put down this awesome piece on Hackey Road at the old tennis courts which makes clever use of pre-existing paste-ups by Mustafa Hulusi. Mustafa Hulusi’s paste-ups have themselves have been popping up all over the East in recent weeks.

‘Robbo inc.’ returns courtesy of Banksy?

16 Nov ’1111 Nov ’11

King Robbo’s iconic ‘Robbo inc’ piece has returned to Regents Canal, Camden, albeit in a slightly difference guise. This wall is where the Banksy v King Robbo feud was spectacularly ignited nearly two years ago with Banky’s notorious ‘modification’ of King Robbo’s iconic Robbo inc piece which was, at the time, 25 years old. In the intervening period this feud has been much scrutinised within both the street art and graffiti scenes as well as the mainstream media.

Ozmo street art, ‘Big Fish Eat Little Fish’.

11 Nov ’1119 Oct ’11

Italian street artist and painter Ozmo is in town at the moment. He recently painted this striking piece at Cargo in Shoreditch which is entitled ‘Big fish eat small fish‘. The piece draws inspiration from the works Brugel the Elder and Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres’ painting ‘The Turkish Bath‘. Speaking about the piece he said that he was “inspired by the city, where everyone is thinking about money, business and fame, without any respect towards people and relationships..”
