Italian-based street art installation duo Urban Solid have come back to London after a couple of years to paste up their newest work on the streets. I originally covered their last work for their last visit in this post. They returned old favourites "audio survelliance zone" casts to the street to bring up the topic of survelliance. These are brightly painted in neon paint. The heads inside the television sets (with the remote controls in their mouths) also returned to provide thought-provoking issues related to media and free-thinking. They also brought some new and refreshing work in the form of two humanlike casts pasted up on a popular spot on Brick Lane. These are nearly life-size and feature a man and a woman with clothes painted on and touristy/hipster outfits.
Another features video game graphic art, and the last new piece features a face created from different body parts.
Unfortunately, a lot of their work seems to have been damaged in transit but is still recognisable.
