23 Magpies, Dean Lane, Bristol, September 2015

43. Dean Lane (2)

I pretty much walked past this small poster, but stopped in my tracks and took a closer look.

This is a really interesting wheatpaste by an artist called ’23 Magpies’. I think the artist is based in Gloucester, given that most of the works I can find are from there. My guess is that this was posted up during Upfest 2015, as it is only a short walk away from North Street. I have not been able to find out much about the artist, but some other works are shown here.

    1. A wheatpaste is like a poster stuck to the wall with glue. The artwork is usually carried out in a studio, and then the poster put up with the wheatpaste glue. It is quick and therefore is favoured for illegal posting. I think there is a good explanation on wikipedia…I think.
