In the past couple of weeks, I've been noticing some artwork by Alo popping up throughout Shoreditch. The first one appeared on Sclater Street, and I've since seen them pop up on Hanbury Street and near Shoreditch High Street rail station. I'm sure that there's more to be discovered as I've not been out walking too much this week due to an accident.
Alo creates artwork that uses a lot of black lines around bright, bold (mainly primary) colours. The bright colours are instantly noticeable on the streets with so much grey around. The art with the red background, discovered near Shoreditch High Street station, contains a quote: "is she ready to know my frustration?"
I am not able to find out too much about Alo (also known as Aristide Loria) on the web or anywhere to learn a little more about this artist's work and background. However, a Facebook page for Alo with more artwork can be discovered here: http://www.facebook.com/aloartofstreet
