'Colour the Capital' and 'Spray for Pray' were two street art events in London at the end of last year. The work featured in this post is from artists Pez and Vova Zomb, whose work can often be seen in the city of London. Spanish street artist Pez ('fish') has been to London a few times and always paints his smiling 'fish' characters. The artist started to paint in Barcelona in 1999. Vova Zomb is a Russian illustrator who lives in London.
'Smile or Die' was a series of murals created by Pez around London. In addition, he also made 'don't worry, I'm happy'.
Following the second attacks in Paris, 'Spray and Pray' was born. Vova Zomb created his character illustrations in Star Yard next to Pez's piece, and the mural appears to mimic stained glass and a religious theme.
The works are colourful and I think they do create their objective of bringing more colour to the streets of London.
