Two kinds of street art, a photo from London, England

Photographer's Note

Tate Modern is an art gallery located in London. It houses the United Kingdom's national collection of international modern and contemporary art and forms part of the Tate group together with Tate Britain, Tate Liverpool, and Tate St Ives. It is located in the former Bankside Power Station, in the Bankside area of the London Borough of Southwark. Tate Modern is one of the largest museums of modern and contemporary art in the world. As with the UK's other national galleries and museums, there is no admission charge for access to the collection displays, which take up the majority of the gallery space, whereas tickets must be purchased for the major temporary exhibitions.
Tate Modern is housed in the former Bankside Power Station, which was originally designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, the architect of Battersea Power Station, and built-in two stages between 1947 and 1963. It is directly across the river from St Paul's Cathedral. The power station closed in 1981. Tate Modern was opened by the Queen on 11 May 2000.[6]

Tate Modern received 5.25 million visitors in its first year. (From Wikipedia)

I was a bit disappointed with Tate Modern Galleries, although I liked the industrial building changed into an art gallery. But then, outside the museum, I saw this scene - street art of two kinds: an interesting mural with a view of London, and some music by a harp player. From geotag I found the place but I can't find it on the Google Map.

Sir Henry Tate, 1st Baronet (11 March 1819 � 5 December 1899) was an English sugar merchant and philanthropist, noted for establishing the Tate Gallery in London. Tate rapidly became a millionaire after he start ted to produce sugar cubes.

Another scene in Workshop.

Hello Malgo,
It's a nice combination of music (which we have to imagine) and painting. The rough texture of the wall makes the city view look like it was made in the pointillism style. The effect is quite good. Looking closely at an enlarged view of the painting I realize there is a lot of hard work behind it.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hi Malgo,

The presence of the musician is adding life to the scene. The point of view is showing the details of the artwork. The light is enhancing the colors. Have a nice day.

Hi Malgo
A great shot with lovely colours. The musician is an art work in his own right. I like the way he is staring directly at the camera.

Ciao Malgo,therefore even the outside of the Tate gallery offers good photographic opportunities, certainly the harp player, an instrument not common among street artists, made the difference. Two beautiful photos of this mural showing modern London always in evolution. Have a nice evening and thanks,Luciano

Hello Malgo,
What a really beautiful mural on this brick wall. It offers a great view down the river Thames in a nice mix of colours. Great addition of the busker in the foreground as well, luckily he had placed himself to the right of the painting and didn't obstruct the view.

Hello Malgo, it seems to me that the musician chose exactly the right place to play his music, knowing that passers by would stop to look at this lovely mural. It is beautifully painted, and the texture of the brick/stonework adds to the overall effect.
I notice that the busker is completely up to date with his 'machine' for accepting card payments! Cheeky!!
Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards, Jean.

Hi Malgo
The Tate Modern gallery is one I did enjoy visiting but this mural is as interesting even of the colours are a bit vicious. Good having the harpist included. 2 good photos.

Hi Malgo

A nice aerial view of London approximately from the top of the Tower Bridge looking west. The Shard at left is instantly recognisable. The musician with a harp at right adds depth and layering and a 3d effect. Tfs!

malgo

o mural parece ter um toque de impressionismo mostrando o T滵isa e o shard. minha prima trabalha ao lado to walkie-talkie. o m𢃼ico foi bem inclu獮o na foto, como voc� n緌 sabe, a harpa � o instrumento mais t甑ico do paraguai, pois � muito usado na m𢃼ica nacional, a guar滱ia.

Hi Malgo,
Street musician playing a harp, that must be a rare thing! And that mural is very impressive. It must be time consuming to paint a big mural on such a rough brick wall. Certainly not a job of an ordinary graffiti guy. No wonder it's on a wall of a famous art gallery.

Hello Malgo,
The painted wall has a great 3D sense with beautiful colors cast.
The musician plays a unique instrument, the harp, rare to see such with street artists.
Nice taken moment.
