ALICE // Girl in Hackney
Yesterday was an amazing sunny, freezing day. I dedicated the morning to discover Hackney Road and ended up in a minor side lane under the rail tracks that lead to Bethnal Green. Clare Street is full of street art and I was delighted to have found this piece by Alice Pasquini, one of my favourite artists. She came to London in 2013 / 14. This I suspect was painted in 2014 and still survives, alongside some other beautiful and most recent works by Mr Cenz and Zabou. I love the face expression of this girl who seems thinking, sleeping or dreaming
