Street artist Dale Grimshaw is an artist known for very detailed portraits. For the past few years, many of the portraits are of people from West Papua because he is highlighting the issues between West Papua and Indonesia through his street art. Earlier this spring, the artist painted a new mural on one of the walls at Hanbury Street at the corner of Brick Lane. This was painted ahead of his exhibition at Well Hung Gallery.
I'm always amazed when I see Dale Grimshaw's work because of the attention to detail and the bright colours he uses to create artwork that simply cannot be ignored. The detail in the eyes, including the wrinkles and the strands of facial hair help make this West Papua man come to life in east London.
