Italian painter and street artist Ozmo's amazing [wall paintings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/piranha-tank) are currently showing at the [Pure Evil Gallery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wax-melts1) in the street art haven of Shoreditch in London.

These stunning black-and-white images are an eclectic mix of pop culture, resistance references and traditional Italian sculptures and figures. They are all painted with black felted pens. It took the artist a whole week to decorate the walls of the gallery.

I especially like the little mob of people wearing 3-D glasses and the Cabineri (local police) on patrol driving a Mini. The exhibition runs until 2009.
