This beguiling piece by Tom Miller appeared last weekend and has already now been painted over, and even when I took this picture a day after it was completed, it had already been tagged. I love Miller’s work, but I have reservations about this one. There is something in me that is slightly uncomfortable about using street art used to promote anything, even your own exhibition.
I have many pictures of street art in Bristol which promote night clubs or special evenings of music etc, but I don’t post about them. They are deliberately ephemeral and are usually not quite up to the standard of other work. There is less love about them…they become perfunctory.
This I think is a case in point. Miller’s work is usually of such a high standard, and this feels just a little bit rushed. I look forward to seeing the gallery, but look forward more to seeing a more considered Tom Miller piece in the near future. Does that sound harsh?

It doesn’t sound harsch, I also don’t appreciate this kind of street art (comercial/promoting an exhibition) as much as the original (yes, mostly illegal) street art. It can be both very beautiful, however maybe not equaly valuable..

Agree with both SAR and SOl. I am not really sure if it is street art when it is advertisement. yeah, I know it is on the street but is it art?
