Street Art Collaboration with Lapiztola and Liseth

Early last year, I posted about Mexican street artist collective Lapiztola and the mural they painted off of Brick Lane. I really liked the work that they created, and I was happy to see that the collective were back in London torward the end of last year with the other Mexican artists. Lapiztola were formed (as a group of graphic designers) in 2006 in Oaxaca in Mexico, and their work is produced with stencils and often features political and social views. Originally, they were put together to highlight these struggles in their hometown before focusing on further afield. 

In fact, the name 'Lapiztola' actually translates into 'pencil' and 'pistol' because they are inspired to try to make the world a better place through their art. Many of their creations feature children as the innocents caught up in horrible struggles. The young boy in this image appears in a state of shock or upset while the flowers pour around him.
