Street artist Dan Kitchener is one of my favourites; I always enjoy seeing his new art on London's walls. The latest piece was finished just a few days ago with a Tokyo street scene, titled "Tokyo Graffiti". The artist often paints bustling city scapes at dark with glowing street lights, and this new mural features that. Added into the mix this time is the presence of graffiti on the top of the artwork in Japanese and Latin-based characters.
Upon closer inspection, all of the walking figures with umbrellas are wearing surgical masks, in what has become the reality recently. The wall is located in Shoreditch on Clifton Street.
At the beginning of this year, the artist painted on Pedley Street and Brick Lane. This street scene did not last long at all before it was painted over.
The last piece, located on Brick Lane, dates from mid-summer last year, and it was called "Hong Kong Puddles" and also did not last long. There were others as well, but they were all tagged over relatively quickly and before I could get a photograph of them. I do wish the taggers would leave them alone.
