Original mural photographed in London | By Id-iom (Hugo & Sholto Brown)

The print captures one of Id-iom's most conceptually sophisticated works—a meditation on power, vulnerability, and the human condition rendered in their distinctive contemporary street style. The piece features twin portraits crowned with golden regalia, their faces marked by streaming tears and crimson hearts, set against an explosive backdrop of celestial blues, geometric patterns, and urban textures.

The Artists: Brothers Hugo and Sholto Brown have evolved from their Isle of Man origins to become defining voices in London's contemporary street art movement. Operating from their Brixton studio-laboratory, they've developed a unique visual language that bridges pop culture, political commentary, and fine art sensibilities. Their work has garnered international recognition for its sophisticated blend of stencil techniques, color theory, and cultural commentary.

The Artwork: "Royal Tears" represents Id-iom's mastery of symbolic storytelling through street art. The crowned figures—rendered in their signature monochromatic portrait style—challenge traditional concepts of authority and strength. The tears and hearts aren't signs of weakness but powerful statements about authentic leadership and emotional intelligence. The surrounding cosmos of blue stars, geometric elements, and urban detritus creates a rich visual narrative that rewards close examination.
