Angry Face, Napier Road, Bristol, May 2016

240. Napier Road, pedestrian tunnel

This is the first, and not entirely typical, work by Angry Face that I have featured. His faces appear all over Bristol, and judging by his Facebook feed in numerous other cities as well. I believe he might recently have been ‘on tour’ in Lisbon and Barcelona.

I don’t know very much about him and will try to dig out more. I had always assumed he was a Bristol artist, because of the sheer number of his pieces around the City. It would seem that all of his works are illegal throw ups. There are several examples of his work that are outline only, without the completed colours…maybe he was disturbed whilst spraying. Ubiquitous, unique and always angry, there is something comforting about his work.

    1. I think it might be a sticker. Do you know much about stickers? they are going crazy here. Most of the lamp posts and traffic signal poles are covered in stickers. I only really started noticing a few weeks back. It is a huge ‘thing’ here.

      1. Lots of stickers here as well now – some of the same people who create murals and wheatpastes, and artists use stickers as advertising as well. Depending on where you go when you visit NYC, you will see a lot of them, especially on the Lower East Side and the East Village, Bushwick as well. (I actually know an artist who has just started throwing up original art stickers that are kind of cool: @indefenseofeve )
