Realistic-looking painted fabric and large orange and grey dots create upside-down figures on the side of a building in Shoreditch. The artwork is titled "Reign!". The artists are known as Cyrcle!, and they have some work on display in the city at the moment. I love the colours and the execution of this work. The fabric looks realistic, but the rest of the image is comprised of two main colours forming dots. The light and shadow is made from the proximity or size of the dots, and viewers need to stand back in order to see the image. In addition, the image is painted upside down.

When turned, the image reveals three figures in various embraces, and it reminds me of ancient Greek statues. (Two of the figures are in orange, and the other figure is in grey and is partially-wrapped in dark grey cloth.) See the photograph below for the image turned the right way up.
