You can be pretty sure that when Goin takes to the street, the work he produces will have an edge and political aspect. His piece for Upfest was no exception this year. He has created a large monochrome stencil of a traditional working-class paperboy holding up a newspaper with the words ‘Bullshit’s Tories’.
I believe that Goin is French and this might give us a clue to the slightly curious wording. It is obviously an anti-Tory slogan, but doesn’t quite read right. It matters not one jot though, because it is pretty overt either way, and the piece is really powerful.
I like Goin’s work a lot, but was very slack last year, and missed out on his main Upfest piece. It was slightly off the main drag, and by the time I went to photograph it, it had gone. Not this year.

It definitely doesn’t ‘read’ properly although I’m wondering if he’s been very clever and has made ‘Bullshit’s Tories’ into ‘Bullshit sTories’ . . . ???

You might be onto something there.

Great piece and great location as well. The newsboy is somewhat shadowed by the little girl in the billboard ad to the right.

It is interesting how her image mirrors his. I only noticed this when publishing the post…I wish I could say my composition of the photograph was deliberate, but it was not.

Good stencil. No idea who the Tories are, but if it is politics–bullshit is involved.

The Torres are the Conservative party who make up our government at the moment. Equivalent to the republicans in the states.
