Street artist HIN (Street Art: HIN) pasted a couple of walls near Brick Lane at the end of the summer. The last time I noticed his work was toward the end of last year, and he pasted a few collaborative pieces with artists Mo, Cranio, Senna and others. You can see those pieces here.
The first mural appeared on some gates on Hanbury Street, an area already popular with ever-changing street art. The title is "Racist Bear" and features one bear being waited on by another and several slave bears with chains around the legs. Unfortunately, the middle bit of the gate was open, so I was unable to get a good photograph. The next time I went back to see about getting a better photograph, another street artist had tagged over the section.
The second wall artwork shows a monkey on a cloud with several other smaller monkeys with several bananas floating around. A speech bubble above the big monkey reads "Oh god, please tell me there's bananas in heaven." This one made me laugh.
I hope that we will be seeing some more work by the artist before the end of the year.
