The East London Vandalsis an original artwork by Kende, created in 2026.
Conceived as a reflection on the artist’s years in East London, the work revisits the visual language and energy of that formative period through layered cursive calligraphy. Marking a new stage in the artist’s practice, it is one of the first works to incorporate adhesive as a textural medium, creating subtle relief and additional depth across the surface while preserving the raw rhythm of the layered lettering.
