5349. Cumberland Basin

The first time I saw this piece from Acer One, I was puzzled by it, because it was a simple black piece of writing, and if I am perfectly honest I was slightly underwhelmed. I was also being incredibly thick, because it was a work in progress, and a few days later he returned to complete it. It turns out that the black was the shadow, and I should have known that. It also provides a little insight into how Acer One layers his work.

The writing says ‘it’s all love’, which I think most people could probably rally behind. The letters adopt Acer One’s favoured colour palettes of the moment, showing the light spectrum sequence of colours. Appropriate too, perhaps, as we mark Pride Month, which I am guessing this piece might have been a precursor to.

It is always great to see Acer One’s work, and he has made this particular spot his own. I thought I’d include this shot of my dog’s rear end for good measure.
