282. Hill Street

There is a good story to this piece. Some time before I started to blog about street art, and around about the time that I really started to get interested, I saw two artists working together on a small car park wall on Hill Street, parallel with Park Street. I surreptitiously took a couple of pictures and walked on. Since that time, I have returned to the wall many times and taken other pictures.

I am not sure who one of the artists was, and so his wall does not feature here, but the other was Fois. At the time, and for a long time afterwards, I didn’t know it was by Fois, but it became very clear when I wrote about his piece on Nine Tree Hill.

It is a wonderful work, spelling out his name with the characteristic colours and curves that have, to my mind at least, a strong feel of the 1930s. I will at some point find out who his collaborator on the day was, but it might be some time.
