Street artist Dan Kitchener, who is one of London's most popular street artists as his work features often in the city, recently painted the Kinkao wall on Pedley Street just off Brick Lane. The work was actually finished earlier this week. This comes after a previous work on Clifton Street near Liverpool Street that was painted in January. Dan Kitchener's trademark style is to paint night scenes of cities with cars or people and a lot of neon lights. He also paints female portraits to accompany his work at times, and I've watched his style grow and evolve over the past few years.
The new mural is called "Future Tokyo", and it was completed in one day. It shows Dan Kitchener's trademark damp night scene of Tokyo with crowds carrying umbrellas and neon lights. In addition, a portrait of a futuristic-faced lady is included next to a robotic figure. (Dan Kitchener often paints female portraits with the cityscape in the background.)
The mural on Clifton Street is called "Tokyo Ghosts" and features a portrait of an Asian girl and a backdrop of a line of cars and Taxis with colourful neon lights.
