Alice Pasquini is another female artist who is in London due to the all-female street artist exhibition at Saatchi Gallery 'XX: A Moment in Time'. Alice is a street artist from Rome and is not a stranger to London. She last visited in the summer of 2014 and painted a mural on Bacon Street, and you can see that piece and some of her other pieces from previous visits on my post here. Her work is created using stencils, and the subjects of her work feature portraits in a variety of poses but always showing expression and emotion, which the artist captures these moments in time very well.
I always find her work a pleasure and the small 'hidden' portraits often make me smile. The image of the young girl above, with her tonque to the side of her mouth envokes playfulness of the subject and reminds me of a selfie picture that the younger generation are doing.
The stencil in the most prominent place is of a pregnant young woman wearing a floral bikini and posing.
Another figure of a female appears to be dozing in a window. She looks care-free and seems unaware of anyone watching or looking at her.
Last, but not least, are these two young girls playing around; the angle is looking down on them so it appears that the viewer is the adult or parent and is a part of their interaction.
There is also a larger mural in Camden, which Alice has collaborated on that I have not seen yet.
I love how this artist's work has evolved over time, and I hope that more artwork appears by this artists on the streets of London soon.
