London Street Art

On a recent trip to London, I went on a street-art tour with guide Karim Samuels. Having watched Banksy’s controversial Exit Through the Gift Shop it was really cool to see works by some of the artists in the documentary.

    What a fab collection. I’m into abstracts lately and my fave one in this collection of your London street art images is https://kpresner.files.wordpress.com/2013/11/p1010681.jpg

      Oh, timethief – you have the honour of being my very first commenter. Hurrah!

      I love abstracts too – thanks for pointing out your fave.

    This tour was really inspiring. I was pretty ambivalent about the merits of street art and graffiti at the beginning and by the end I was blown away by the talent and creativity of everyone involved. There was really incredible work to be seen and I’m pretty sure we only saw a small part of it.
