Thank goodness for ALO, the London-based street artist bringing joy and colour to the streets of London for us to enjoy – much like a modern-day, art-school-chic Robin Hood. If you’ve not yet caught his work in the enclave of East London, head over to Jealous Gallery, which is ending 2023 with a bang with a display of the artist’s remarkable works in a new exhibition titled BABEL. ALO’s muses, which he often refers to as ‘London’s unseen’, take centre stage as the artist continues his exploration of the human form. Exaggerated and distorted figures stand powerful in bold, vibrant colour, each created using an array of mixed media techniques. The result? A seriously eye-catching, thought-provoking, ever so slightly spooky (it’s the eyes) exhibition that is definitely a must-see.
Also on show is the artist’s new screen print ‘Morgana’, created in the Jealous Print Studios this year and seen for the first time at Woolwich Print Fair in October. If East London isn’t your regular haunt, ALO’s given us a reason to head over.
