I will never quite understand why some artists never have as high a profile on Natural Adventures as they deserve, this is even more puzzling when those artists are as talented and creative as I bee W. I have several of his pieces in my archive simply waiting to be posted, but they are trapped. I wasn’t going to let that happen with this wonderful stencil piece in Weston-super-Mare

The stencil is unusual, because it features a nude figure which is very unusual in UK street art. Maybe we were prudish or something, but nude art is rarely seen. The complex, multi-layered stencil is typical of the excellent work we see from I bee W, and has a sense of optimism and freedom about it. I will be unearthing more work from this fabulous stencil artist.
When it was painted last year some of the local ‘pure at hearts’ kicked up a bit of a stink beacuse it was ‘inappropriate’. The fact that it’s still there speaks volumes about all that. Those boards have got quite weathered now. There were a few pieces painted on the other side at the time too.

I didn’t look at the other side. This piece has weathered well though.
