London Street Art by French artist C215

January 22, 2009

I see from photographer Romanywg's Flickr photo account that French stencil artist C215 aka Christian Guémy has returned to London and has been hitting the streets of East London again with some new London street artwork.

Pictured below is some of the new multi-layered stencils works the French artist has painted in East London nightclub venue Cargo earlier in the week.

Also going up on the walls in Cargo's courtyard is some new street artwork from Bruno Leyval. Check Romanywg's Flickr who has photographed the artists at work in Cargo.

I also came across this great short film from AfroBreak, documenting C215's travels to Brazil last year, not sure when the video was posted but I hadn't seen it before.

The short film documents C215's travels into the favelas as he finds various locations to paint on the streets. It then follows him into the homes of some of the locals where he decorates their walls with his stencil work as well as giving a master class to the local kids on how to cut their own stencils. Check out the video clip below.
