It is great to be able to post yet another incredible work by another Bristol Artist. This one is by Shab, and stands head and shoulders above many of then other abstract pieces at Upfest this year. His use of the brilliant white an black outlines on a slightly off-white background works a treat, and the match and flame are something to behold.

This is a thoughtful piece which had some scratching their heads. An acquired taste maybe, but actually technically really good. As always with his pieces an eye is incorporated too.

I do really like his work, but missed the opportunity to meet him. He had finished by the time I made it this far on the first day. This one makes it into my top 10 for the festival.
I really like this, esp. the use of the match against the white space moving up (the way paper burns up, the flame almost no visible) taking over the black space.

I agree – I love the blue light on the match head too. Really clever work.

Good flame. What is going on with that ant?

I don’t know…there are two or three. Interesting mix of abstract and real.
