This past weekend, Pixel Pancho painted his first piece in London, with help from gallery RexRomae. The Italian street artist, whose last creation with Vhils we raved over back in December, left behind this scenic mural at the city's Old Truman Brewery.

It depicts a female robot frolicking in what looks like a garden of overgrown shrubs and similar steam punk-inspired lizards. Though the stone-faced android is made up of metal, screws, and gears, resembling a character from a futuristic film or sci-fi novel, her rusty exterior, outdated gown, and the unkempt surroundings evoke a feeling of antiquity and even nostalgia—a common theme in all of Pixel Pancho's works of art.
