It looks like the clever French street artist Clet Abraham was at work in West London recently – perhaps he was in town for the bank holiday weekend?
Wandering through Chelsea on Monday with my parents who are over from New York, we spotted a few stickered signs in typical Clet style (Oakley Street and King’s Road). Then I found another two on my way home last night (Sumner Place) in South Kensington.
It’s great to see some street art on my side of the city for a change.
Clet and Ben Wilson’s recent chewing gum art trail down King’s Road may be some of the subtler styles (I’ve also spotted few Christiaan Nagel mushrooms perched on Chelsea rooftops), but it makes me hope for some colourful murals popping up around here eventually! Or at least a few small Pablo Delgado pieces please?
I’m positive there are plenty more Clet pieces hiding nearby and perhaps further afield. Have you spotted any recently?
Nice makes a change from the usual boring clutter of street furniture :)
Yea, they’re really cool! I found another one this morning of a hand squeezing the bar on the sign.
These are all over Barcelona at the moment too! I think they’re great.
That’s funny you mention that. One of my friends from Barcelona said the same when she saw the photos and sent me a photo of one of them. Barcelona’s full of cool street art. Must go back soon :)
really clever!
