Pixel Pancho is an artist from Spain, and he was in London last year and left quite a few murals on the walls of the city. I covered his work in my post Street Art Round Up in Early Spring 2014, and you can see some of his work there. Robotic figures / steampunk are a common theme for the artist, and the new murals that have arrived within the past three weeks feature robotic chickens and humans.
The first piece is located on Hanbury Street on a prominent wall, and it was a collaboration with artist Evoca1, a Dominican artist based in Miami. The mural features two roosters who have been in a fight. The feathers are torn from one of them, revealing the mechanics underneath. The other lies on the ground, the features removed from its head. This was a difficult wall to photograph as the council are currently digging up the road and have put green barriers in front of the murals.
The second mural is on a large building in Dalston and features two robotic figures.
The artist's work is currently on display at Stolen Space Gallery in London (http://www.stolenspace.com/) until the middle of April.
