Variously called The Bearpit, Bearpit, Bear Pit or Bear-pit…I will stick with the first.
This space has recently undergone something of a transformation, thanks largely to The Bearpit Improvement Group, and provides some excellent permitted gallery space to upcoming and established street artists in Bristol. Once something of a ‘no-go’ area it is fast becoming a ‘somewhere to go’ place, especially for me…expect lots of blogs from here.
I’ll start with a piece by one of my favourite Bristol artists – Kid Crayon. I saw this vibrant piece earlier this week walking in to work and was chuffed to bits to see it. It was not so long ago one of his wheatpastes, that I have featured before, was cleared away and I have missed it, but this new work more than makes up for it.
I’ll be looking out for more of KCs work, but more often than not it finds me.

I’m a fan of Kid Crayon’s work also. I got pictures of the Bearpit one the other day but I couldn’t find the mural in the car park that you posted a while ago. Where exactly is it? Which car park and what level? Cheers. G.

Hi Gary, the mural is on the ground floor of a private car park just past the William Hill betting shop on Fairfax street. It is usually obscured by cars, and you have to get lucky to get a clear shot at it. I consider it one of KCs best works.

I love the way he always works the crayon in. Good use of colors here. I wonder why he chose to make the face purple? (Nose and ears are red)

I just think he likes to use bold colours and unconventional portraits.
