Looking back to May last year when The Bearpit was nearing its end as a street art spot, (shame on Bristol City Council) and the visiting French wheatpaster Tian, left us several fabulous pieces in Stokes Croft and the roundabout.

This fabulous piece, printed from a stencil, is of a boxer, I have no idea who, and is one of his larger paste ups at about three-quarters life size. The yellow tones work really well on the red background and the piece is full of life and movement. If and when Tian returns to Bristol he may struggle to find as many spots to paste his work as he has been used to on previous visits as the pace of gentrification accelerates.
I don’t think I posted this piece at the time either which is a shame as it’s a great piece.
I wondered at the time and again now whether he could be a martial artist as the gloves look really small to be a boxer’s gloves . . .

I thought the same. My first thought was Bruce Lee, but that might be stereotyping.

Looks more like a Thai Boxer perhaps?
