This is one of the most incredible stencils I saw at Upfest this year. It is by p0g0, a French artist now living in Southampton. I watched him putting the final touches to this work, but would have loved to seen the early layering of the stencil.
The skill of the artist has turned the relatively mundane subject matter into something really special. The piece is called ‘Dirty Converse’.
It is no surprise to learn from his short bio in the Upfest programme that P0g0 was a finalist in the Stencil Art Prize 2015, and winner of the 2015 Stencil Art Awards in Bristol.

That really is something. How I wish Southampton City Council would let him do some around our town.

I think Bristol City Council turn a blind eye rather than let it happen. Is there a difference?

No not really, but Southampton Council do their own grafitti to advertise and they think that’s enough. There are two small areas where people are allowed to do street art and it is pretty substandard.

I think Chichester is the same. Very hard to find anything that is not ‘permitted’.
