London's East End is home to this iconic building, Christ Church, Spitafields. This was architect, Nicholas Hawksmoor's masterpiece, situated on Fournier Street, near Brick Lane and Liverpool Street Station. Hawksmoor was a protege of Sir Christopher Wren. For a period, 25 years ago, I lived on Fournier Street. Neighbours were Pop Artists, Gilbert and George. A soup kitchen operated from the church each night. Prostitutes walked the beat around its entrance and The Ten Bells pub adjacent operated as a pole dancing club. The notorious Jack the Ripper once operated in the area during his murderous crime spree and artist Walter Sickert painted from a nearby bed-sit studio around the same time. This area has since been gentrified, bankers and professionals live in the area, and The Ten Bells pub caters for the suits of the city. The pole still remains, but with no exotic dancers. This mixed media work was created using acrylic paint, stencils and aerosol spray cans. It nods to street art and pop art influences.
