Otto Schade Paints Donna Summer on "Bull In A China Shop" and Others

Originally from Chile but based in London for the past several years, Otto Schade has painted across London and the world with his work instantly-recognisable. His main styles are the style where his subjects appear to be made of ribbons or bands. The other style is the silhouette, and this often features political or social satire. One of the newest murals, painted at the end of 2020, was a portrait of Donna Summer on "Bull in a China Shop" wall opposite Box Park in Shoreditch.

Other work includes some new smiley-face ribbon artwork, which was located on a couple of walls.

The post office on Brick Lane was another location of Otto Schade's artwork. Ecuadorian actress Flor Maria is the subject of this piece, and her portrait in ribbon-style is located on the wall.

Other common subjects feature ribbon-style pin-up girls. The one below is wearing a cowboy hat and looking at her mobile phone: "Audrey's Mirror Selfie".

Unfortunately, many of the pieces are short-lived before they are tagged over in east London. It is always very disappointing when this happens, especially when it's not been there long. The rhino below was tagged over very quickly.

Another mural features a blend of ribbon and silhouette styles with an eye showing a sword fight scene.

"Open Your Mind" is a satire piece with a karate kick breaking the silhouette.

Another one of these shows a boy climbing a ladder to reach grenades hanging from a tree like fruit.

In Camden, the artist painted a tribute to Amy Winehouse along with another pin-up girl. Both use the ribbon style.
