Street artist Fintan Magee painted a large wall near Old Street in London last summer, which I photographed and posted here, along with a lot of other street art. The artist returned as he had an exhibition in London (Oceanic Exhibition with Askew One). A couple of new pieces appeared on the street at this time. I enjoy seeing his work as it is detailed and realistic, and the depth makes it 'pop' off the wall that it is painted on. Often, it depicts motion and common themes include two figures in a struggle of some sort.
According to the artist's Facebook page, the astronaut work is titled "Two Men Fighting Over the Moon" and it appears in a high profilic wall on Hanbury Street. It shows two astronauts floating in space with a small moon and planet Earth.
The collaboration with Askew One appeared on Great Eastern Street for about a week and featured Fintan Magee's name.
