Street artist Aspire (A51) is known for painting different birds around London's walls. The artist tries to blend in features of the wall and surroundings with the artwork and incorporates a series of pixelated colours shown in the larger part of the work. The artist has been painting on London's walls for many years now, and I enjoy the birds as they bring a slice of nature to the city.
The above piece is one of my favourites as it uses the foliage from the bushes along the wall to create the appearance of a bird sitting on a branch.
Some of the other work tends to incorporate conservation and climate into the artwork, such as the series with a bird sitting on a lit matchstick.
And a bird sitting on a plastic bottle of water.
The below artwork was created many years ago in Camden and also seems to bring up environmental concerns with a "reduced" shop tag seeming to discuss the value of nature.
