I've been exploring Shoreditch recently as I am currently working in the area, so this gives me an opportunity to share the street art that I come across and that the rest of the public seem to enjoy. I've come across some three-dimensional clay wall art pieces by Cityzen Kane, also known as CZK. Each one is unique and detailed, and many of them have cultural influences (Africa/Asia). Many of them appear to have faces, coming out of an intricate design or detail.
According the the artist, he was inspired to create his sculptures from the late 1980's music revolution and thought of it as a spiritual enlightenment; he envisioned organic shapes and colours (1).
