Back then, the idea was that if the world was a fucked up place that desperately needed changing, and contemporary art and art schooling had London Street Art failed us in this respect, then it became our job as artists to not only challenge the system but also change it. So, in search of more immediate impact, most of my friends started bands, and I did that for a while too, but I was a painter at heart. Inspired by the awesomely graffiti subway trains, I started going out tagging or my version of it. Christiaan London Street Art is a South African artist, been based in London since Now we take a slightly deeper dive into the artistic universe of this mysterious artist. London Street Art found a place to live close to the Berlin Wall. In AprilNoir began to paint the Berlin Wall in order to perform one real revolutionary act: to paint the Berlin wall, to transform it, to make it ridiculous, and to help destroy it. When the Wall fell in his paintings became a symbol of new-found freedom across Germany. I was fired from every job I started. So I thought to myself, I have to change something radically in my life. At that time I had heard a lot about West Berlin, about the music. There were a lot of new wave groups. A lot of people had to live in squats because there were no flats. So I started from nothing, with only two small suitcases. I came with an address, but after a few days some guys said to me you have to find something else. I was really on the street, with only my two suitcases, and I started from zero to live in Berlin. Noir is a forerunner of the modern street art movement, London Street Art for being the first artist to continuously decorate the Berlin Wall illegally from to pre-empt its ultimate London Street Art in Street Art London Street Art is joining forces with prominent London street artist Stik to welcome Noir and introduce his art to the walls of London Street Art and Dalston. On the 21st of February Noir and London Street Art will be exploring the continuum of street art history, the old school and the new school, within the broader context of art history at a talk in association with Street Art London and The Courtauld Institute of Art at Somerset House. The Sheffield-based artist is best known for his comic-like illustrations and larger-than-life slogans. He recently completed his biggest London mural and Street Art London had the chance to sit down with this one-man-army to pick his brains. I would write lyrics and ideas for songs in the back of my sketchbook and after a while I noticed I was writing more words in my book than I was drawing pictures in it. I thought I should really use them for something, so I started painting these slogans. I think it is nice to paint things London Street Art people can relate to, plus it has a lot of impact. Initially, it was almost as though the buildings were having a conversation. I like painting big, bold stuff. Working in brutally cold conditions Kid Acne managed to get the piece up over three days and even had time to put up some London Street Art Art Fags on the carriage ends atop the wall with Dscreet. This latest piece represents the next step on the way to establishing the most prestigious street art wall in the world in the heart of Shoreditch. For all the info on the project head over HERE.

The piece I discussed above for New Inn Street actually forms part of the same series of murals — all of which revolve around the theme of connectivity. The shape of connectivity in the past, present and future is taken from a theoretical concept and brought to life in these jaw-dropping murals. Walls are painted, sprayed, whitewashed and sprayed again. Hoardings are taken down. Pieces are vandalised or hidden under posters. The current piece, by Sr. X is no exception. Prior to that, it was an absolute gobsmacker by London street art genius Dale Grimshaw. Duck left next to CitizenM to the London Street Art hoardings.
