Kosc is and artist whose black and white portraits are in complete contrast with his other street art work that goes under a different name. He keeps these personas separate and I respect that and will do the same. This is the fourth archway piece that I have posted from this amazing street gallery in John Street. If you live in Bristol, it really is worth seeking out.
The portrait (thank you Paul) is of an Australian gangster called De Gracy who was picked up by police in Sydney and his mugshot photograph taken, alongside another gangster called Edward Dalton. I guess Kosc chose this portrait because it works well with light and dark shades and shows off his skills. This is a striking addition to the Archways in John Street.

I really like the b/w effect – especially amongst the other colourful art. Stands out nicely. 😀

Yet again he’s showing us his very real talents in greyscale work that appear to be getting more effortless as he continues this style of painting. Here’s to many more . . .

A great portrait, all the better for being (nearly) anonymous and slightly mysterious.
