With beijing as his canvas

Rare street artist places his work on abandoned buildings

A 25-year-old artist in Beijing who calls himself Robbbb has found a unique canvas for his work, one he hopes helps capture the fast-paced changes in China's capital: The walls of abandoned and half-demolished buildings.

On crumbling edifices down back alleys or by construction sites he has glued enlarged images of photographs of people from around the city, sometimes striking unlikely poses.
