One of the truly outstanding and memorable pieces of Upfest 2017 was this extraordinary image of an infant holding a spray can. The artist, Mon Devane, comes from the city of Ourense in Galicia, Spain.

Taking a look at his website, you can see that he has a strong and recognisable style, using a monochrome style on vibrant backgrounds. There is nothing subtle about his pieces, they are bold statements, and beautifully crafted.

I do like it when street artists incorporate a spray can into their art, like the old masters including a paint pallette – the tools of their trade. I think that this might have been one of the most popular pieces from the Ashton Gate wall (although there were so many great pieces there), simply because of its instant impact.
I also like what appears to be a look of shocked surprise on the baby’s face—as if he’s been “caught in the act.”

Great piece. Lots of detail in the child’s face.

Ashton Gate was incredible. I think the child is creating a piece out into the viewer’s direction and is amazed at how good it looks and feels.
