London-based artist Ant Carver has recently created a new mural on the ever-popular wall on Hanbury Street. The mural was just finished in the middle of last week and features a girl with a golden skull. Illustrations of portraits feature quite heavily in Carver's work, but it has only been recently that the artist has created photo-realistic murals. In particular, this mural gives attention to the model's hair, drapery, and lighting.
The artist has recently been focusing on loss and reflection, and the three candles represent the loss of a close friend.
