The street artists will be taking over, painting on and pasting across one of London’s West End’s most established venues.

The event kicks off on Tuesday 16th at 5pm and doesn’t finish until Xmas eve which gives everyone the chance to check it out whilst you go and do a little Crimbo shopping.

Originally from Greece, The Krah has been making waves in the street art universe since he travelled to the UK. The Krah has been working hard with his recent and current shows but still makes the time to come back to his street art roots, taking it to new, unique and original levels.

Don’t worry, it’s not like it sounds.

The Krah is still out making brilliant art and has found a way to effectively dodge the buffers. The Krah’s pieces have been attached to fences by padlocks and have, so far, dodged the pressure washers of the government employed buffers.

I was unable to get to a computer last week so I couldn’t update Flickr to the week (sorry). So this week is an extra special one :P.

This week we are looking at the flickr of London artist, The Krah.

His bright, almost oriental street art is intriguing and thought provoking. The Krah’s work is as good off the street as it is on the street. Featuring in many exhibitions, The Krah is a great artist to follow and learn from his unique style.
