Street artist Perspicere is known for creating art installation pieces made of thread or string. It's always a little tricky to capture these pieces, and they never last too long before being broken and not looking their best. I've come across many of the artist's installation pieces, but by the time I have seen them, they are not looking the best. At the end of last year, Perspicere has been pasting up some new styles created with thread. These feature portraits and other subjects created with thread for the dimension. They last longer than the installation pieces wrapped around fences, lamp posts and railings, though. Below is a selection of the artist's work across east London that I have managed to capture over the past few months. In addition, I have added a couple of older artwork by the artist that feature geometric shapes and can give an idea about the evolving style of Perspicere.
Some of the artwork has been damaged deliberately or by others passing through.
The oldest pieces in this post actually both date from 2015 and are located on Great Eastern Street on a wall that used to be reserved for street artist murals. The style is in geometric shapes, and we can see the evolution of the artist's work from more crude threads in geometric shapes to realistic portraits.
