In 1940 the area was under heavy attack and this area was destroyed. Jewish left and in the 60s Bangladesh people came to populate the area, due to the war between Pakistan and Bangladesh. In Brick Lane there are more than 52 Bangladesh Restaurant.

Why did Banksy start to use stencils? Because you do all the work in your studio. It is less dangerous if you do illegal art.

Stick, one of the artist that works in the area. He is one of the few who fixes his own works. Street art is not meant to be fixed.

Artist 6215 uses multilayers stencils. 4 layers for one piece of art.

Made by our guide drawing and glowing it in 2 months.

Every time a street artist comes in London has a show in a street art gallery and then he/she paints a wall in the street to promote him/herself

by Private 9/19/2014 2:43:33 PM
Painted in 8 nights. Until 2008 one of the biggest piece of street art in the world (hainbury street)

by Private 9/19/2014 2:45:30 PM
All of these had been made legally, asking the permission to wall's owners.

Space Invader is an artist who glows mosaique and spreads it around the world. In Miami he placed space invaders in all the city. If you join all of them on a map you get a big space invader.

In a bit we know the difference about graffiti and street art

by Private 9/19/2014 4:11:10 PM
We tried to guess...

by Private 9/19/2014 4:12:10 PM
Graffiti is much more about lettering and self-promotion among the graffiti community

by Private 9/19/2014 4:12:23 PM
Street Art is an evolution of graffiti having a message, it is more dedicated to the audience.

by Private 9/19/2014 4:13:06 PM
Swinging London. A bit of sound from the pub that we just left

This is a piece of art in Club Row. The artist is 50 years old and he spent 2000 £ to make this. It's called portal and it is dedicated to his son who took his life away one year ago. He is one of the most passionate artist according to our guide. He started using concrete, that was cheap. Now he is using a non toxic resyne. If you look for "portal" by Citizen Kane you'll find a video that tells this story.

And now we discover the story of the famous 2008 Barak Obama's portrait during the electoral campaign "The portrait that came to symbolize the historic campaign of President Barack Obama has made its permanent home only a few blocks from the White House at the National Portrait Gallery. The piece, created by Los Angeles artist Shepard Fairey, came to the museum through the generosity of Washington, D.C., art collectors Heather and Tony Podesta, in honor of Tony Podesta’s mother, the late Mary K. Podesta." www.npg.si.edu

Not sure if you can hear them but these guys were playing "another brick in the wall" on the middle of Shoresitch

#shoreditch #eastlondon Trains that you see in the video are now artists' studio where artists can find affordable spaces. It is located at the end of a space where there used to end a bridge.

by Private 9/19/2014 4:38:38 PM
A piece of art made by Space Invader. He did it with a friend illegally but pretending everything was legal. Street Art is also about the scenario that you create.

Discovering gentrification - this is made by Vhils, a Portuguese artist. You better come and see it in this small street near Curtain Road. It will be destroyed in 6 months. It has been done through am hammer, and then drilling and then explosive.

by Private 9/19/2014 4:51:00 PM
