The artist needs no introduction, but for those of you not so familiar with some of the bigger names in street art, this is an incredible geisha piece by Dan Kitchener or Dank as he is sometimes known.
Everything about this piece is close to perfection. The location and wall, the proportions and of course the artwork. The parked car at the bottom left is the only blemish, and even that has little impact on the magnificence of the mural.
It seems that Dan Kitchener never stops. Every time I surf Instagram, he seems to have yet another new mural or canvass piece on the go, most of which are strongly themed with these Japanese street scenes, and for me have a touch of ‘Bladerunner’ about them.
To combine the geisha with the street scene is a clever shift, bringing together two elements that he loves to paint into one piece. The top half features a white-faced portrait of a geisha fully decked out with her amazing hair decorations and headdress.
Underneath the beautiful lady is a street scene, with neon signs and wet weather, of course, that Dan Kitchener captures so well and presents us with something full of bustle and atmosphere.
A brilliant piece and fabulous gift to the people of Weston-super-Mare.

The fact that he’s able to produce such works is down to lots of talent and hard work, but the speed that he is able to produce these stunning pieces really is quite exceptional . . .

It now boasts some five or six large high-end pieces like this one, which will help to boost tourism.

I’m sure it will. I managed to get to the M Shed yesterday and saw the current exhibition called Vanguard-Bristol Street Art. Have you seen it?

This is fabulous! I used to visit Weston regularly many decades ago (a boyfriend lived there) and it never had anything like this back then! So beautiful 🙂
