I was in two minds about posting about this Laic217 piece, because it is so unlike anything I have seen from him before, and something of a departure from the trajectory he has been on recently. I am not too sure also that I like it very much…it might be something to do with the insipid colours. But hey this blog isn’t just about what I like, it is about what I see.

Actually, now that I am scrutinising it a little more thoroughly, there is quite a lot here to like. The animal, the alien in a spaceship over eyes and the customary brick wall. I guess the monochrome approach is something I’ve not seen before from this artist (spoiler alert…but I have seen since).

Not the best, but still something rather compelling about his work, and how much has he improved over the last year?
there’s a zine -fifty shades of spray- that deals with a single colour per issue: orange, black, chrome, yellow etc
currently they’re accepting any piece in a single colour with black and white, that’s why you’re seeing so many pieces with monochromes from deamze, laic etc

Thanks for the insight. I have so much to learn still.

Too many eyeballs for my liking but the monochrome lime green makes a good photo with the white wall and green grass!
