Milo Tchais Paints Hanbury Street

One of Hanbury Street's most iconic walls has been recently painted by Brazil-based street artist Milo Tchais, an artist that I covered several years ago in my post Street Art: Milo Tchais. I recognised his artwork from a previous visit to London quite a few years ago now. In fact, all but one of those old pieces no longer exist now as they have been painted or tagged over or gentrification has taken the walls. Tchais' style is painting colourful floral patterns, and this time, his work features a bird. The bird takes centre place on the mural.

The colourful murals that Milo Tchais creates add a touch of nature and colour to the bleak streets, particularly in this area of London where there are not many trees, plants, flowers, and green squares. A mural such as this is welcome.
