Door 27

This door will be familiar to regular readers who might have seen my recent street art post about this amazing mural by Alex Lucas. I felt it was just too good an opportunity not to include it in this week’s Thursday doors offering. The door is so well disguised, it takes a while to properly make it out – you can just see the buzzers to the left of the double door.
Alex Lucas is a very well known artist, designer and illustrator in Bristol who has, through numerous commissions, decorated many buildings in the area and pretty much created a Bristol brand with her work. I think that this might be one of her largest murals, and probably the most complex.
You can see more of her work on her website Lucas Antics.

Oh, fantastic! What fun… I shall look for this next time I’m over in Bristol visiting my daughter. Thanks for posting…

My pleasure. It is close to the Banksy ‘mild mild west’ piece.

That’s a beauty. There’s a building in Toronto’s graffiti that was done in a similar under-the-seas theme with almost identical colours; I wonder if it was done by the same artist.

I’m not sure she has been to Toronto, but it’s possible.

Love how the artist decorated the front of the house – so bright and cheerful! Can’t determine from the photo if the arched window on the second story is the whole window, or only part of it, and the rest is painted. Great find!

Thanks. It is the whole window which has a stone surround.

Absolutely love it! In the first shot, it looks so real that the window with the paper in it seems to be completely out of place.
