Otto Schade is a street artist from Chile who is now based in London, and his work can often be found on London's streets. Otto Schade (Osch), has been painting London's walls for several years, and I first noticed his work in 2012. He uses two styles of artwork. One style is a ribbon effect used to create smiley faces and other figures. The other style uses a silhouette in an orb, which features a social or political theme. This post contains both styles created by the artist that I have photographed over the past couple of years.
The below is a political and social artwork with a drone in a bird cage and birds flying round outside.
"Bull in a China Shop" cafe has a large bull, which has been updated from the original bull design that was painted on the side of the cafe a few years ago.
The below is a social and environmental piece with a little girl picking flowers in a flower meadow, but the flowers are nuclear symbols.
On the side of the souvinir shop on Brick Lane, a ribbon hand pushes a red button.
One of Otto Schade's signature pieces is a smiley face with ribbons and a map of what appears to be the river Thames with some of the names of London's neighbourhoods.
The below one was located on Rivington Street, but by the time that I managed to get a photograph of it, it had been tagged over.
