Street artist collective Broken Fingaz have recently painted a wall on Redchurch Street in Shoreditch. The group, originally from Israel, often paint in comic style with a range of common characters that are usually depicted in bright colours (green men, blue men, and so on). I have previously covered their work here with a lot of their work in London. The group also recently painted a shutter in Soho, which I covered here.
A few years ago, they painted some controversial explicit works across London in a series of murals featuring primarily women in compromising positions with skeletons and animals. I think I found three of them in total, and they were all tagged over and removed. Their recent work is decorative (instead of controversial) and also highlights aspects of good visual graphic design with the use of imagery and typography.
I enjoy seeing their work back to the original and inexplicit characters, so hopefully we will be seeing some more of their work around London in the coming weeks.
