One of my favourite street artists since he's been on the scene in early 2013 is Italian street artist ALO. I love seeing work by this artist and was over-joyed to see some new pieces go up near Brick Lane recently. The new artwork has a slightly different style than the artist's original pieces; it is simplified. It still keeps with the theme of abstract portraits, however. I previously covered the artist's 2015 work here. ALO first painted in London in early 2013 (my first post can be read here). I've covered his work in the following additional posts 'ALO Part 2', 'ALO part 3', and 'ALO Part 4'.
In addition to the above new pieces, I also discovered an older work by the artist when I was visiting Columbia Road. This piece was probably painted last summer when the artist was in London and added a few additional pieces, but I've only just discovered it. It was also in the same location as an older piece by the artist, and this location marks the spot where work by this artist has stood the test of time since 2013.
This mural off Columbis Road appears to be inspired by the Sunday flower market as the female in the portrait is wearing a flower in her hair.
