On a recent drive around Bristol getting from one spot to another, I managed to stumble across a few Merny pieces that I hadn’t been aware of or hadn’t been able to locate. This one is on a shutter in Trinity Street next to a Taboo Pink Panther piece a little bit away from the beaten track. Shutters are tricky, because most of the time they are up and you don’t get to see the artwork.

This philosophical piece features three passers-by  and the words; “The earth spins on its axis, one man struggles while another relaxes”. I like that. The characters are painted in Merny’s naïve style and reflect everyday people. Naturally there are little identification numbers and lines dotted about the place, consistent with most of Merny’s recent works.

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. More than a nod to Bristol’s Massive Attack where the quote comes from the beginning of their song ‘Hymn Of The Big Wheel’ from their famous 1991 album Blue Lines.

    ”The big wheel keeps on turning
    On a simple line, day by day
    The earth spins on its axis
    One man struggle while another relaxes”

      1. Seeing as you can play the entire album for free these days it’s probably worth giving it a go as it is without a doubt a truly seminal album that’s been repeatedly voted into the top 500 records of all time
