This is at least the second time that London-based French street artist Zabou has painted musician Amy Winehouse (the piece is titled 'Amy II'). The new artwork is a collaboration between Zabou and Villana, who is from Mexico and who creates artwork (normally paste-ups) using bits of string and yarn.
Zabou has been painting in London for the past few years (I think that the first street art that I saw from her was opposite 'Last Days of Shoreditch' in 2013), and her work keeps getting better and better. Her subjects feature portraits. The latest work by Zabou that I captured on this blog was in the autumn with her "Alice in Wonderland" on The Bell pub near Aldgate East.
Villana is a street artist from Mexico who is also a yarn-bomber. She has visited London a few times and left behind little yarn paste-ups, and I have previously covered her work here: Street Art Villanaart.
