Mural Monday --- Ben Slow in Los Angeles



I happened to see this wall art tucked away next to the Mexican fast food restaurant at the corner of Sunset Blvd. & Sanborn St. in Los Angeles. At first glance this looked like a magazine advertisement, but with closer examination the careful placement of the Red layer, the way the collage like image was put together I felt that this was a very calculated art work.  

It turned out that this work was done by Ben Slow a Mural artist from London. Here is a link to his blog where he talks about this piece. .http://www.slowbenart.com/new-endings-on-paper/

    So the mural artist came to LA then? How amazing that it wouldn't be tagged or anything. How did you find out who did it?

    Thanks for visiting me today!

    Hey Ceil
    There were several large murals in this particular intersection and some were singed. When I googled to find out about them, Ben Slows blog popped out. One entry talked about the above art... and of course the large mural he painted across the street.
