4 more highlights from yesterday's walk through #shoreditch

Street art painting by Abraham.01. it is a profile of a woman sprayed onto a wall. The face is striking with hints of blue and white. In the background is a building with graffiti which contrasts with the image. Street art of a glamourous almost burlesque type woman which frames the window of a shop in Shoreditch Street art image by Otto Schade. It is typical framing of his work: a circular orange painting against a black background. The image sadly shows two children playing rock paper s issues over an apple whilst planes bomb buildings in the background. As always, his work is simple,yet powerful. Street art painting of a fiery river flowing through a dark, rocky landscape. There is a black circle with googly eyes either added by the artist or someone with a sense of humour that hovers above the red river giving the whole image a cuteness and humour.

Photo of a streetart portrait apparently by an artist called Shimar which features a red headed woman crying in an illustrative style. Photo of a wall in Shoreditch which features various posters and graffiti. Top right is a streetart painting of a statues head. As if Statue of Liberty has migrated to London and now judging us. A snapshot of a section of a wall of posters and graffiti which features the black and white image of a young woman. Someone has written, 'Melania stinks of piss' over it which I found amusing. In the bottom left corner there is a sticker which reads, 'There is still art. There is still hope.' Photo of a wall in brick lane which features a streetart painting of a female DJ in a cartoonist style. The DJ, decks and comic speaker are in blue against a bright orange backdrop with the contrast making the two really pop.

Went on a little wander round Winter Lights last night

#lights #light #lightinstallation #art #winterlight #winterlights #canarywharf #london #night #nightphotography
Illuminated, colourful beach balls floating in a large pool of water in Canary Wharf as part of the Winter Lights festival. In the background the lights of a tall building stretch colour into the night sky. An illuminated blue disc is suspended in the night sky like a portal. Part of the Winter Lights festival in Canary Wharf. Lots of illuminated balls hang in the sky. They change colour and are glowing in front of an office block.
