Street artist AKSE is based in Manchester (originally from France), but he has previously painted murals in London in the past. His most recent London mural appeared early this spring with musician Prince. The mural was painted at the corner of Great Eastern Street and Old Street. AKSE's work always consists of realistic portraits of characters or people, and I always enjoy seeing his work.
Prince was a musician probably most famous or most remembered for the song "Purple Rain", and he passed away in 2016. He is considered a musical icon today.
