GraffotoLondon Newcastle Space28 Redchurch St Shoreditch, London5 – 26th Feb 2015All photos: NoLionsInEngland Spanish street artist Borondo moved to London in early 2014 and blew us away with his street art. It was painterly, impressionist and frankly very inventive. Shoreditch, 2014 Had we ever seen a piece of street art specifically designed to be viewed […]
The Hoxton Gallery16 Jan 2015 All photos: NoLionsInEnglandVideos: Keith K. Hopewell, NoLionsInEngland This scribe’s ugly and wizened fizzog appears for a nanosecond in an artist’s video. Quite sufficient justification for a belated blog musing, a video clip and a video clip of the making of the video clip. Keith K. Hopewell is many things, probably […]
all photos: NoLionsInEngland (with anonymous passerby help gratefully received where noted!) Dr D is a perhaps the perfect street artist. His paste up works are epic in scale and they commandeer outdoor channels generally exploited for advertising or control, if they can advertise there, Dr D will hijack it. His guerrilla advertising talkeovers inject political […]

Among a series of great pieces the stand out has to be the upside down canalside face in Hackney Wick, a gem of site specific dynamic art. With just the right wind, a gentle slop of the water surface […]
All Art: by Louis Masailocations: Shoreditch, Camden, Brixton All photographs: NoLionsInEngland You wait all year for conscience driven awareness raising street art campaigns then two come along at once. A couple of weeks ago, not long after Graffoto wrote about Dan Witz’s Empty The Cages project, Louis Masai was spied on the streets of Shoreditch […]
Photos: NoLionsinEngland except where stated There are few joys greater than the unexpected discovery of a stunning piece of street art. Finding something with beauty and meaning and which you were totally unaware of gives a buzz very little else can match. While cycling along my well worn route into Shoreditch recently something caught my […]
All photos NoLionsInEngland except where stated (Update: see new news on NO AD in footnote at bottom) Street artist INSA has explored the far off boundaries of technology with his latest hi-tech work “The Cycle Of Futility” in Shoreditch.

Art Is Trash is back in town and installed this most unlikely tearful tribute to Robbo on a wall tastefully utilised by Drax and Oker and Pure Evil (out of shot) as a Robbo tribute then distastefully partially painted over too soon by Endless. I doubt there is a more flamboyant performer in the world […]
