Over the last couple of weeks Spanish born, but London based Graffiti Writers & Street Artists Size92 & Mask have been in Shoreditch and laid up two stunning works. Both works which are two-tone in colour scheme combine Graffiti and portraiture imagery really offering something for everyone interested in Street Art or Graffiti Writing to enjoy. There is a lot to take in both these works and we have said more about each below.
Work in Blackall Street, Shoreditch, on which the duo spent some 3 days at work in the cold and wet London winter weather, in the process leaving a work that is just gripping. Working with a purple and blue colour scheme the piece features a pair of tages from each of the artists and at each end there is a deconstructed portrait comprising a hand and fragments of a face. Really a superb work.

The absolutely stunning finished piece along Great Eastern Street, Shoreditch. While we very much like the previous work, this one is just astounding, absolutely breathtaking work. The piece set to a striking grey-scale colour palette is a tribute to Jose Monge Cruz, better known by his stage name of Camaron de las Isla, a flamenco singer and guitarist who passed in 1992 and is still considered the best in his field by many. Both the imagery and letters in this piece are immaculate and make for piece full of life and touching sentiment. The work features a exquisite portrait of Camaron de las Isla by Mask, which is then accompanied by his tag, whilst a abstract ballerina dances in the centre, in turn accomapnied by Size92’s tag and his exceptional depiction of hands clapping to the music.
