Eye-catching Street Art by Ant Carver in Brick Lane, London

Eye-catching London Street Art by Ant Carver in Brick Lane, London.

There has been a boom in wheat-pasted street artworks going up on walls across East London of late which we suspect is in part due to the unusually warm few weeks we have had in September/ October here in the city.

From screen printing posters to collages to hand-painted street art paste-ups the walls of Shoreditch and Brick Lane have seen a lot of new wheat-pasted paper works going up on walls.

Brick Lane Street Art by Ant Carver

One of those street artists installing work recently is Hackney Wick-based artist Ant Carver. The artist has been back in the Brick Lane neighborhood and installed two new hand-painted wheat-pasted portrait posters.

As with some of his previous street works traces of which can still be seen (see the last image below), Ant Carver has continued with his ongoing series of striking monochromatic portraits with layers of brightly colored abstract elements painted over the image. These street art pieces are extremely eye-catching and they are sure to grab your attention.

The street artists' two new works include two female portraits both of which are pictured in the images below.

The second of the new Ant Carver street art pieces are located on a wall on Bethnal Green Road next to the Shoreditch Overground Station.

Pictured below is an older piece that was previously pasted in the same location next to the new work above. The piece has now begun to be aged by the elements and sections of the poster have started to peel away from the wall.
