Street art by Jay Kaes is located on one of the prominent walls at Hanbury Street off of Brick Lane, and this artwork has been here for a few months now. Jay Kaes is a Spanish artist who relocated to the UK, so a lot of his work has appeared in London. His style is to use bold colours that are illustrative, and the work mainly features female portaits. His work speaks about social situations and technology as well as contaning elements of popular culture or comics.
I also captured an older piece that I had not yet published here, and this one was located near Allen Gardens. It uses bright colours with a multimedia colour background showing pixelated and "transparent" elements. The female face has a mobile phone attached to her eyes, and social media actions are placed on it. The prominence of social media and mobile phones is common in the artist's work.
