New Street Art

Street artist Swoon in London

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 street artist. Street Art London

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 Street Art on Hackney Road, East London

Evol street art in London

German street artist EVOL is in town and today hit up Smithfield Market with some of his distinctive street art.  Evol uses paste-ups and stencils to transform such urban furniture as concrete blocks, tree planters and telephone exchanges into tower blocks thereby creating tiny cities with the city.  We went down to have a look, check out our shots below…

Banksy King Robbo Cartrain at Regents Canal, Camden, London

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 in LondonItalian 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..”

Check out the rest of Street Art London’s photos below.

Pablo Delgado's miniature street art in London

Around Broadway Market.

Street artist Pablo Delgado continues to produce more and more tiny street art scenes across London.  Over the past few weeks Street Art London has been scouring the streets for as many as we could find.  In this latest collection, we also present some of his earlier pieces that we missed the first time round.  Some of these now have a lovely weathered look which makes them seem even more at home on the street.  This time we have included some clues as to location to help you hunt them down yourselves…

Redchurch Street (near Brick Lane) became a lot more colourful this weekend as street artist Malarky hit up a long wall behind Rich Mix with some of his trademark characters.  We caught up with him over the two days that it took him to paint the wall.  On a bit of  a roll, Malarky also hit up some shutters and walls in the Brick Lane area which we’ll be featuring soon.  If you’d like a little more background on Malarky, be sure to check out the great interview that Street Art London did with him back in May this year here: Malarky Interview.
