Please welcome to the fold a brand new street artist bringing tiled brilliance to the world’s pot holes. Locating spots cracked and crumbled by the weather, Lalo Adam El Khao traces the pavement perforations for reworking in the studio.
With every unique shape comes a unique design, with each creation starting life as a ghost made from pencil, crayon, or ink. The results are fabulous faces formed in colourful mosaic shards, laid perfectly in their new homes.
El Khao’s process can be followed on Instagram where each artwork is documented from start to finish.
