Dan Kitchener or DANK has produced a piece called "Queen of Neon", on the premises of the 5th Base Gallery in Heneage Street, just off of Brick Lane. 

 the 5th Base Gallery asked Dank to paint this piece as part of the exhibition of his work in the same location earlier this year, but they intend to keep the wall as it is for a reasonable amount of time.

The mural is some 30ft x 20ft and was completed with the help of a scissor lift, making for Dank's largest Geisha based work currently in London, with two huge ‘Liquid Lights’ cityscape works also to be seen currently in Clerkenwell and Brockley.

The piece is entitled ‘The Queen Of Neon’ in which the Geisha character, of which the image is based on photographs taken by Dank of model Ayumi LaNoire, represents the spirit of Tokyo, brought to life by the cables and neon signs entwined in her hair, becoming very much part of her construction and being. She stands at the centre of the city around her.

The fact that it took Dank only 15 hours to finish this majestic piece does not take away from it's beauty. This is now one of the largest murals around Brick Lane.
