At the start of the year, street artist Conor Harrington created a mural on a gate off Brick Lane. The artist, who is originally from Ireland but now lives in London, has painted many murals across London. This newest one replaces a similar mural painted in January. Similar to the January mural, the subject is a man covering himself in bunting. It is a political and social piece that reflects on self-congratulatory masculine society. The artist generally paints his subjects in a classical style with traditional costume. This mural has been painted in greyscale with a pale blue background.
