I visited the Guildhall Gallery last week for this extrordinary exhibition …
With over 150 pieces, this is a major retrospective which features series of works from as far back as 1990 right up to the present day, including 41 London-themed kaleidoscopic prints created exclusively for this new exhibition.

You can read a very comprehensive review of the exhibition (including a video of the artist at work) on the Books & Boots website. I strongly recommend you read it before visiting the gallery.

The street art around Brick Lane changes all the time so earlier this week I popped back to see developments.
A very good example of this is the changing face of number 33A Fournier Street.
