London-based street artist Zabou has been busy this year creating new murals. I managed to photograph the most recent ones for this year. The largest mural painted and the most recent one is "The Glitch (Clockwork Orange)" on the Village Underground wall off of Great Eastern Street in Shoreditch. This mural seems to tie in with the re-release of the cult film, which was banned in the UK for many years.
For the past few years, Zabou has been painting the wall at the start of Broadway Market. This was updated earlier in the year as a tribute to David Bowie.
Previously, the same wall was painted with a tribute to Mexican artist "Frida", which was previously painted on this same wall. I never got to see the finished piece last year, so the below photograph is from Zabou's InstaGram account. In addition, the photograph next to it is also from her account because it had been completely painted over in less than a week. The work is "Born to Paint" and features what I assume is a self-portrait of the artist in street art mask gear. This piece was located on Brick Lane.
Also near Broadway Market is a new mural on a shutter dedicated to Sherlock Holmes, using the portrayal of the character by Benedict Cumberbatch. This short series reboot of the famous detective books to television has launched Cumberbatch's career and made Sherlock Holmes popular again.
