Unknown artist, Leonard Lane, Bristol

79. Leonard Lane (5)

The works in Leonard Lane never cease to surprise or challenge. I saw this today, and didn’t pay too much attention to it, then stumbled into a comedy double-take (fortunately nobody was watching).

To say that this street has a lot of experimental art/graffiti is an understatement. But this one has me intrigued. I don’t know the artist, and there are no signatures that I can make out.

The work has a backdrop of random graffiti, which I guess was there before. Overlaying it are four wheatpaste circles of decreasing sizes that have replica images that have been lifted from the backdrop. It is very clever, and has left me wondering how it was done.

Definitely one for Tate Modern.

8/10

I am Stephen. I live in Bristol, UK. I decided to shorten my profile...to this: Wildlife, haiku, travel, streetart, psychogeography and my family. Not necessarily in that order.

      1. Wow. The students in Bristol are sent out to do street art, and with a brief. You guys really are street art minded. I really like wheat pasting so I am hoping you will find more. Maybe you need to give them some encouragement on that piece and see what happens–A.
