This past summer, street artist Cranio returned to London's streets to leave new artwork. Cranio is known for his blue tribal people, who get up to all sorts of chaos and usually have a political, social, or environmental theme. I was able to track down his artwork across east London. The artist was in town hosting an exhibition at BSMT Space Gallery in Dalston. This exhibition was in place until the 14th of August. While in London, he created many murals. One of them was covered previously on this blog, and it was posted here: Cranio and Phlegm Collaboration in Dalston - War.
I went to BSMT Space Gallery to check out the artwork.
One of Cranio's blue tribal men was painted on the wall.
Located on Hanbury Street, this smoking blue man looking right at home under a "shisha lounge" sign.
On Pedley Street off Brick Lane is a grafitti-style tag.
Also on Brick Lane is a blue man wearing a football shirt and smoking.
Another blue tribal man is using a mobile further down the road on Brick Lane.
The final mural in this part of London is located on Bacon Street and features one of the blue men walking his dog while looking at his mobile. His face appears to be disappearing into his mobile.
