<\/strong>Independent women and relationships are key themes in Italian artist AliC\u00e8\u2019s work. BEN WILSON<\/strong><\/p>\n Probably one of London\u2019s most unique street artists, Ben uses a blowtorch to flatten down gobs of chewing gum on the pavements and turns them into mini canvases, painting intricate scenes with tiny brushes. C215<\/strong><\/p>\n French stencil artist C215 regularly produces very recognisable work all over Europe. He paints mainly faces of people forgotten by society \u2013 homeless, street kids, refugees. His daughter Nina features as well.<\/p>\n CITYZEN KANE<\/strong><\/p>\n More wall sculpture than paint or pasteups, Londoner Cityzen Kane creates details 3-D pieces from polymer clay. They are laborious to make; a large Lord\u00a0Jagannath replica took about three months. He creates alien-like organic forms and sometimes creatures like fish or even toy guns.<\/p>\n CHRISTIAAN NAGEL<\/strong><\/p>\n Christiaan\u2019s speciality is gigantic mushrooms (or sometimes small ones) usually planted at the top of ordinary or semi-derelict buildings, especially around Shoreditch. They are brightly coloured and created from polyurethane \u2018surfboard foam\u2019, fiberglass and stainless steel.<\/p>\n DAVID WALKER<\/strong><\/p>\n David\u2019s brilliant portraits come to life in a mul DSCREET<\/strong><\/p>\n With Dscreet, it\u2019s all about owls. Cartoons influence him, so the creatures have an illustrated look about them. Symbolism of the owl around the world is also an important to this prolific artist.<\/p>\n EINE<\/strong><\/p>\n Typography is the word that pops to mind at the mention of Eine, whose famous alphabet has appeared on many London shutters. Barack Obama once received an EINE painting as a gift from David Cameron and Eine was invited to design a 50th<\/sup> anniversary poster for Amnesty International.<\/p>\n GAIA<\/strong><\/p>\n Based in Baltimore, American artist Gaia, regularly paints while travelling and has recently created a series of large animal images in London.<\/p>\n French artist Invader\u2019s work is highly recognizable. You can\u2019t miss the space invader tiles plastered all over London and throughout the world from Istanbul, to Tokyo, Sao Paulo, Melbourne, Mombasa and all over Europe.<\/p>\n JANA & JS<\/strong><\/p>\n French-Austrian couple Jana & JS are paste-up, stencil artists whose work is influenced by their mutual love of photography, architecture and portraits. They live in Salzburg, but London\u2019s been lucky to see a lot from them lately.<\/p>\n JIMMY C<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong>Most of this Australian artist\u2019s paintings are made from hundreds of thousands of little dots \u2013 a type of street art pointillism. He tends to paint portraits, mainly of people marginalized by society.<\/p>\n MALARKY<\/strong><\/p>\n Malarky monsters are nearly storybook illustrations \u2013 friendly monsters, angry ones and every type in between. Malarky also paints plenty of foxes too and you can recognize his work through his use of bright colours.<\/p>\n MIGHTY MO<\/strong><\/p>\n Mighty Mo of the Burning Candy Crew is synonymous with monkeys. He started off making his mark around Camden and North London, but now the best place to look is the East End.<\/p>\n MOBSTR<\/strong><\/p>\n Based in Newcastle, the clever and often sarcastic Mobstr regularly creates work in London. His art is as simple as stenciling \u201cMasterpiece\u201d framed against a brick wall or \u201cBooring\u201d on a white space. It always makes you look twice.<\/p>\n MR. PENFOLD<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong>Look for colourful, cartoon like characters from Mr. Penfold. They usually have exaggerated, hooked noses. <\/strong>Much of his inspiration came from early days working in a pub and chatting with the locals.<\/p>\n OTTO SCHADE<\/strong><\/p>\n An architect in daily life, Otto Schade\u2019s technical skills transfer to the streets. Ribbons of paint are woven together to create a 3-D effect in faces with a surreal theme.<\/p>\n PABLO DELGADO<\/strong><\/p>\n Pablo\u2019s work is tiny. His paste-ups of people and life scenes feature at the bottom edge of buildings with long black shadows stretching onto the pavement.<\/p>\n PAUL \u201cDON\u201d SMITH<\/strong><\/p>\n Don has been on the street scene since 1985 and you\u2019ll spot his work everywhere from Portobello Market to South Bank to London\u2019s East End.\u00a0 His current street art focuses mainly on portraits (sometimes with a hint of sarcasm) of famous people like The Queen or literary figures like Charles Dickens.<\/p>\n PHLEGHM<\/strong><\/p>\n Working often on a large scale, Phlegm has created a series of hybrid characters, using body parts from various animals. They are almost always painted in black Indian ink with dip pens.<\/p>\n ROA<\/strong><\/p>\n Infamous for his intricate (usually black and white) paintings of rodents or animals native to the location where he\u2019s painting (ie \u2013 in London, rats, hedgehogs, etc), this Belgian artist\u2019s work can be found around the world. Sometimes he paints the just outside of an animal. Other times he exposes the inner workings of the body.<\/p>\n RUN<\/strong><\/p>\n For RUN, bigger is better and his work largely reflects that. An Italian artist based in London, his love of travel has taken his art around the world. You\u2019ll spot his large paintings of nearly mythical creatures, angular faces and a fascination with fingers and hands.<\/p>\n![\"Street](\"http:\/\/www.townfish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/TownFishStreetArtAlice.jpg\" "\\"Street")
