I couldn’t hold this amazing black and white portrait piece back any longer. ‘Why hold it back at all?’ I hear you ask (in my fertile imagination), well, it is another of those pieces that I know absolutely nothing about, despite some fairly intensive Interweb interrogations.
Moon Street has be host to many different pieces of street art, but nothing like this one in my experience. I don’t know who P. Jacobs is, and I guess the date is a date of birth. Is this a tribute to somebody famous or to somebody dear? What do the formulae mean? There is so much in this work to figure out before even marvelling at the superb portrait itself. This is a piece painted by an accomplished artist, but not someone that has crossed my path before (I think). Those eyes are amazing and follow you around.
Could somebody out there put me out of my misery and telll me who this is by and what it is about?
Thank you Paul. This piece is by Kosc, who has painted this door before.
Very Orwellian

I remember the arm. I seem to remember you said the artist knew the owner of the door. Please spill the beans.

I’m so stoopid. I even follow him, and I have a feeling you told me all this before. Too many senior moments these days.

No worries
There are so many people painting everyday of the year it’s impossible to know everyone and to get everything right all of the time . . . 😉
