5494. M32 Cycle path (226)

I happened to meet Lee Roy yesterday, while he was chilling with his dog beside the river, and we got chatting. I spoke to him about this wonderful new piece on the cycle path that runs alongside the M32, and commented on how different it felt to his other recent work. He said that he was trying something a little bit different, and although he couldn’t put the changes into words, he used hand gestures to describe how this new approach is a little more curvy and free of blocky letters.

The piece spells out Leeroy, although the letters are far more cryptic than we are used to. The modest colours, similar to the kind of muted colour palette that Dog Bless the Band tends to use, sit nicely on the grey buffed wall, and the green flashes keep the eyes busy. I am looking forward to seeing where this new direction takes us. A lovely piece from Lee Roy.
