HIN is a street artist from Hong Kong who settled in England. His work is characteristic of superhero, celebrity, or poltiical figures with large heads and smaller bodies. These are usually in silly poses with painted backgrounds. HIN's work is light-hearted, and according to his website (1), his work strives to hold the inner child after dealing with difficult or traumatic experiences. More of his artwork can be seen on his website.
HIN was busy this spring creating paste-ups around Bethnal Green Road and Brick Lane. I also discovered some older artwork located off Redchurch Street earlier in the year. There has also been some new artwork put up on Sclater Street, Bacon Street, and Rivington Street.
Spiderman holds bug spray with baby Spiderman spiders; Arnie looks like he's out walking a dog; a masked man rides a bicycle; Kim Jong un is riding a missile.
These masked men appear to be joyriding in a police car, holding heart balloons and lollies.
This long panel on the bottom of a shopfront on Bethnal Green road was too large to post as a full image. It includes Batman riding a bike with Ironman, a cop, Catwoman on a tricycle, and colourful background scenery.
Catwoman rides a tricycle.
