London Graffiti, Whitby Street

Sophia

Following on from a previous post I thought I’d update you on some further artwork that I came across in East London.

James Cochran is the latest graffiti artist to have his work on display in Whitby Street. Judging by how many tags and variations of Instagram photos I have seen I would say that it has been a hit among locals and tourists. Cochran has managed to create both a soft and hard focus using a drip painting style, which allows the object of the piece to really jump out at you. The more angles you view it from the more detail becomes apparent.

A great site to check out if you are passing through Shoreditch.

London Graffiti, Anna Laurini

Sophia

Walking around Holborn/Bloomsbury you may have come across variations of Anna Laurini’s work - often plastered across closed or abandoned shops.

This piece below really caught my attention, as I find it really interesting that in a busy, humming city a simple phrase or caption can make such an impact on passersby. I would love to know how many people have walked past it and smiled or have taken a photo and shown it to a loved one.

Laurini’s style is said to be inspired by the abstract impressionism movement which is very apparent in her latest work.
