With London Art Week approaching, the streets have been constantly covered with worthy pieces. Leading off Millie's weekly art review is Conor Harrington's powerful ''San Juan Fight Club'' wall in Puerto Rico. The seemingly unfinished imagery and dripping paint reveal strong dynamism and sentimental evocations of duty and honour. A true masterpiece. Image via StreetArtNews.

Other notable walls come from Faith47 in San Juan, JR in London, David de la Mano in Montevideo, Judith Supine in Brooklyn, DALeast in San Juan, Banksy and Tristan Eaton in NYC.

We have always admired Faith47's ability to grasp the world's fragility with a single brushstroke. Her works are both gentle and raw, showing the artist's fascination with the complexity of the humanity; its lows and heights. This new mural (work in progress) in San Juan is not an exception - we are in awe with it.

The artist JR, who constantly works to change the world, has been in London, turning the city Inside Out and encouraging Londoners to stand up for what they really care. The result is absolutely stunning!

Judith Supine, renowned for his surreal collages and large wheatpastes is back and hitting the streets of Brooklyn hard. We love how the manipulated images, assembled from torn magazines and washed in fluorescent colour, blend with the walls surface. Image via Street Art NYC.

Banksy's NYC street forray is in full swing. This provoking piece was unfortunately rip off the door it was stencilled on after a day, which makes us think are street artists the real vandals?
