3784. Cumberland Basin

This is another example of the willingness of Eman to stretch himself and experiment with different subjects and forms, and I for one am thoroughly enjoying the ride. The skull of an ungulate would not be everyone’s first thought for street art, but it is a perfect study for honing the skills.

Eman’s versatility and productivity is elevating the artist’s profile in Bristol, and all the hard work is paying off. Two things I love about this piece: the shadings of blues and whites to give the skull some depth and texture; and the somewhat counterintuitive red border, which is quite a bold thing to do. Great piece.

I am Stephen. I live in Bristol, UK. I decided to shorten my profile...to this: Wildlife, haiku, travel, streetart, psychogeography and my family. Not necessarily in that order.

      1. I meant that I never found the spot where any of them are. How do you get there if walking from the Greville Smyth Park side?

      2. Walk into the park with the Andy Council otters. Cross over the tram/foot bridge. Turn left in front of the Create Centre and go under Brunel Way Bridge, the wall starts there. Great views of the Clifton Suspension Bridge.
