Ron’s Eel and Shell Fish

Late afternoon reflections of old industrial buildings on Regent’s Canal in the Hoxton/Shoreditch area of London. The ad for “Ron’s Eel and Shell Fish” is an art installation from Bob & Roberta Smith. It’s for a project called “Shop Local” which is inspired by the advertising signs painted in the area during the 19th century and is a tribute to the local businesses that maintain their individuality in the face of an economy that is increasingly dominated by mega-corporations and usually offers a homogenised shopping experience.
