Greek street artist SER (Argiris Ser) is the latest artist to paint the large mural on the Village Underground. I had previously covered the artist's work in my round-up in 2015-2016 and a collaboration with Captain Kris. SER's work is based on fantasy lands and creatures, and he names this land "Popartia". Bright colours are used, and the fantastic characters always catch the eye. This newest addition to Shoreditch is named the "Sea of Knowledge" and features a mother "Chipac" with three babies floating in water. The artwork supports education objectives, namely the "Education is Not a Crime" campaign to support education against all people denied it in Iran.
This is a fun piece and works really well in this spot, so do have a look before it's painted over.
