STREET ART LONDON

Before I left London I went on a tour of Street Art in Shoreditch. Actually it was a pretty long time before I left London but it's just occured to me that I never posted about it. There is some street art here in Sydney but I can't say I've seen anything that remotely compares so far. Would love to check out a tour here and spot some of the guys below. Images are smaller than I'd like because I couldn't narrow down the selection any more! Click the images to see bigger and check out details of the tour here.


Stik, Eine


Alicé, Swoon


C215 (C215 and Alicé are a couple so you often find their work near each other)


El Mac (this was 4 days old when I saw it), Roa


Isaac Cordal, JimmyC


Pablo Delgado's miniature paste ups are amazing. Usually found at the bottom of a wall, on a step or a curb, they are easily missed but a rewarding spot.


Ben Slow, Steve "ESPO" Powers of www.aloveletterforyou.com/ fame


Stinkfish, Christiaan Nagel. I never noticed these mushrooms until they were pointed out but they are all over Shoreditch.


JimmyC, C215

We were so lucky to see Ben Slow at work in Brick Lane towards the end of the tour!

  2. London is fab for culture and art, I do miss it, but Sydney has a lot to offer :)

  3. I agree with Natalie. I have never seen these types of images anywhere except London.

    1. It can actually be found all over the world - I saw a great Roa piece in New York. Melbourne has a lot of art, Sydney just seems to have missed out.
