Italian street artist Hunto (originally covered in my blog post here) is no stranger to London, and he's created dozens of murals in the city. His most recent addition to London's streets is located on Sclater Street where he painted a large mural. This is a fantastic piece, created with a white background incorporating the bright and colourful characters that he's known by.
The full-sized piece is photographed below. Hunto is a fan of Picasso and the cubist art movement, and his style is clearly inspired by both. The subject is always the brightly-coloured characters and the relationship between them.
This is a stunning addition to the area, and along with Dan Kitchener's impressive street scene piece further down the same wall, which I'll cover in a later post, it shows that Sclater Street has some promising new potential by high profile artists. I hope that trend continues.
Of course, this is not the first work by the artist this year. Earlier this year, Hunto painted the front of a shop on the corner of Brick Lane.
The piece below appeared on Great Eastern Street, and it's titled "Hunto says let's flirt" and it depicts amorous people.
Have you seen any recent street art by Hunto? If so, let me know.
