This is a contemporary political stencil that I came across recently during a stroll down North Street. It is a controversial piece from an artist who is known for using iconic figures in his works – usually celebrities. In this instance he has conflated two ‘hate figures’…Adolf Hitler and Donald Trump, in a very interesting way. Edgy stuff, which makes it all the more attractive to me.

Pegasus is originally from Chicago, but now lives and works out of North London. He has a fairly substantial Wikipedia page, and a good website containing more about him and his works.

This is one of many political pieces in Bristol that are emerging as we enter into election periods in the midst of austerity. I expect more.
He used to do more “pretty” stuff. This is certainly a different direction. I will confess I am really sick of all the Trump stuff. It’s a good stencil.

I really don’t agree with using Hitler’s image — I mean they did the same with Obama. I am tired of Trump, though, so I’m sure I’ll get over it 🙂

I agree with you about the Hitler thing, it is very challenging and kind of passive-aggressive or maybe just aggressive. Still dodgy territory.
