In deepest Bohemian Montpelier, Bristol, many of the homes and businesses have welcomed street artists to adorn their walls and shopfronts with murals. Every street is full of colour and surprises.

This beautiful mural created in 2013 is by Ryan Kai and is typical of his work, which carries a strong Latin American theme. He studied art at the University of the West of England in Bristol and graduated in 2009. Now living and working in North London, Kai has a really nice blog which gives you a great insight into his work and techniques.

I don’t know who is responsible for the little addition to this mural. A bit of fun.

Great pics, and nice catch of the gnome. This photo is awesome, with its mix of textures and contrasting colors and lines.

I zipped over to Ryan Kai’s blog–he says he did a bunch of stuff at Stokes Croft–is it still there? He had some really nice pieces on his blog as well.

He did a great piece at the Carriageworks that I have seen pictures of, but it is long gone now. I really like his studio pieces and sculptures too.

His sculptures are really restrained–so unlike his use of color in his walls.
