This post features artwork that I discovered a couple of years ago in London but have not had the chance to post until now. All three artists paint a similar style of portrait in a realistic/impressionist manner. The street art features portraits, and the artists come from all over the world. Alaniz is from Germany, Desi Civera from Spain, and Gomez was born in Venezuela but lives in Italy.
Alaniz is a street artist from Germany who creates artwork in Berlin (on the wall) and has a knack for creating portraits of people in emotive states. The paintings inspire discusion and also exhibit political or social themes. Two works were painted in London.
Next up is a piece by Luis Gomez de Teran, a street artist from Venezuela who now lives in Rome. He painted a couple of walls previously off of Brick Lane, and I loved the realistic style of his work. This piece, near Ely's Yard on Brick Lane, features three women holding a chain.
Desi Civera, an artist from Spain, creates portraits that show a lot of expression of people caught in different emotions or situations. She also collaborated with artist An Wei. The below portraits feature a series of people.
Desi Civera and An Wei collaborated on the next piece, and this seems to feature females that appear as statues or trophies.
Although these photos were taken awhile ago, I'd love to see more work from these artists.
