Brick Lane, by Dan Kitchener on Nov 18, 2019 9:26:42 GMT 1, โStreet Geisha - Brick Laneโ - I am fascinated by the visual texture and tapestry of the streets. Walking through London, Hong Kong, Tokyo, the walls have a grime, and beauty all of their own. Tags, graffiti and stickers seem to appear like mould, organic and growing over surfaces, over murals. I regularly paint on Brick Lane, and after time my work is tagged and this then s[reads to larger tags, and eventually the wall, the mural is returned back to the wall so to speak, I love this lifespan, the nature of street art, the transitionary nature, it doesnโt last forever. So for this piece I wanted to integrate the tags, graffiti into the geisha itself. She is part of the tags, they form part of her, and she emerges from the grimy textures ion the wall, layers of paint over the years pushing her forward from the wall. I also like the contrast from the grimes tagged wall texture and the delicate beauty of the geisha, an interesting juxtaposition

I'm envious of people with a gift such as yours. I'd love to be out painting all day instead of stuck in the office.

Brick Lane, by Dan Kitchener on Nov 18, 2019 12:57:48 GMT 1, Thanks for the kind words
I used to work in an office, in post production, in soho for 12 years, but have been creating street art now for about the same length of time, 12/13 years - it's definitely an amazing life to live, i am lucky to be able to travel the world for the last 5 years, visiting so many countries every year, 12 this year alone! Art is my whole life and always has been, but i do find myself working everyday, 24/7 - but it's doing something i love and i am passionate about, so in that respect i feel blessed

Brick Lane, by inefficiencyof on Nov 18, 2019 13:55:30 GMT 1, Really love the feel of this. Iโm always torn between my love of the dirty grimy graffiti world of tags, throwies and burners etc which initial attracted me to the art world Vs the more street art / mural pieces and can never decide which I have more passion interest in. I like how this pulls them both together. ๐๐ป
