Some of the most gratifying pieces are the ones that you stumble upon, without knowing about them and which are total stunners, like this outstanding collaboration from Saor, Kosc and Mudra on the roundabout.

To the left of the triptych is an extraordinary piece by Saor, which is characteristically sharp and clean. What I particularly like about his work is that he doesn’t use borders to tidy up his work, everything is achieved through extraordinary can control and cutting back. Incredible really.

Kosc’s portraits just get better and better, and he has painted something super-special in the centre of the three pieces. I rather like it that he hasn’t moved into the realms of photorealism, but has an amazing sense of touch, tone and depth. The orange hair is pretty eye-catching, too.

To the right, Mudra has painted another cracker, spelling MUDRA with letters in a uniform ‘font’, which is different to his last few pieces, where each letter has had a different design. A flower and a CCTV camera are thrown in for good measure. The whole thing benefits from having a buffed wall painted in a complementary colour that works well with the colour selection of the collaboration. This is another outstanding collaboration from the NTS crew.

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.
