Some of the street art is priceless, sadly this work by the late Robert Lenkiewicz has fallen into a very poor state now, these works are important imho as is Banksy in the larger scheme of things, we are all different fortunately







About the Barbican mural



Completed around 1971-1972, the wall area of the mural covers approximately 3,000 square feet and the painting has an Elizabethan theme.


The whole composition is loosely based on the Hebrew letter 'aleph' (right), which according to the cabala, implies unity as man in relation to the cosmos. The theme concerns itself with metaphysical ideas that were current in England during the period 1580-1620. These ideas cover the following activities: Philosophy, Alchemy, Cabala, Ceremonial Magic, the symbolical aspects of poetry, music and art, the cult of melancholy, chivalry, and similar allegorical trends.
