American street artist Kai Aspire pasted up some street art across London. I found some of his work in Shoreditch, but King's Cross and the South Bank were additional locations where he pasted his work. Kai's artwork contains social themes of imagery, such as consumerism and technology. He creates his work in spray paint and crates plaster sculptures and framed imagery. Most of his work across London was the framed images. The below photographs are the artworks that I found around Shoreditch.

The above image depicts peace with a man holding a flower and standing in front of a tank.

Consumerism is an important theme with one person being bombarded with advertisements and another reaching out from a bar code to pluck a flower.

Technology also features with a person trapped inside a mobile phone. The words "save urself" are printed on the phone.

In the above image, the bag of money holds the person down from being carried away by a heart balloon. Money ties and weighs us down, keeping us from what we love and freedom.

The above image features a business-person running in a hamster wheel. This depicts working hard and never getting ahead and never having enough time.

I love the above image as it is a simple image that features two friends sharing a pile of books.
