Spanish-based street artist Sr. X is currently in the UK with some of his artwork exhibiting in the Delerium Art Exhibition in Dalston. The artist has painted several times in London previously and uses an illustration style with vintage characters and plays with showing their emotional states through art and also uses vintage advertising and graphic design styles. His most recent piece appeared over the weekend on scaffolding near "Bull in a China Shop" under the Shoreditch High Street bridge. It is titled "The Back of Your Mind."
The work shows a vintage-style illustration of a smiling man whose first layer of face has come off to reveal another man hidden inside. The man on the outside looks smiling, but the alter-ego inside has a somewhat sinister-looking expression hidden in the shadows of the mind. It's another wonderful piece from a street artist whose work I appreciate.
