New Street Art Women Portraits by Rone and Snik

Australian street artist Rone recently painted a new mural in London on Hanbury Street off of Brick Lane, a popular place for street art. The mural features the portrait of a woman in purple shading with roses. Last year, the artist was in London and painted a portrait of a woman on a brick building above the Leonard Street car park. The piece on Hanbury Street replaces the elephant octopus by Alexis Díaz: Street Art: Alexis Díaz.

Next to Rone's piece on Hanbury Street and on Bacon Street are some new additions by UK-based stencil artist Snik. This work is also portraiture featuring women. The work shows emotion through motion of the hair, poses, and colour. This series of murals features the women in an orange-yellow cast, and I love the portrayal of emotion here with the use of the hands of the subjects (orange 'gloves' around the face and the praying pose in another one of the murals) and the waves and motion of the hair. These are a nice addition to Brick Lane and they also complement Rone's larger mural.
