Street artist Dale Grimshaw has painted a wall on the high profile corner of Hanbury Street and Brick Lane recently. The mural design coincides with artwork that the artist painted on a London bus panel to raise charity for a decommissioned bus to be turned into accommodation for homeless people in London. Dale Grimshaw's work has been appearing over London for many years now, and the work that he has produced over the past few years aims to bring attention to West Papua. The portraits are likenesses of the people from there.
Unfortunately, the work was damaged within a week or two of being placed, and it was heavily tagged over. It's such a beautiful piece that it is a shame that it was destroyed before too many people coud enjoy it.
