David Walker is a celebrated street artist from the UK, using nothing but spray paint as his medium and walls as his canvas. His art is not what you'd typically think of in regards to grafitti or street art, using faces as his subject instead of words. This work of his in particular stood out to me. I love his use of color, the obvious emotion it conveys by the multiple layers and the variety of lines and textures, making this work dynamic and adding movement, as if he captured a moment in this woman's life. His subject is unknown, she has almost a blank look in her eyes, since we can't see her body it leaves it up a lot up to the viewer's interpretation. Her flat facial expression is a stark contrast to the color and movement that surrounds her. This piece stood out to me immediately, and I loved it even more when I looked closely at the strokes and colors and details.
