6022. Cheltenham Road

The maxim ‘you can never have too much of a good thing’ is a variant of the phrase ‘you can have too much of a good thing’, and the two have very different meanings. In this instance I am adopting the former in relation to the number of recent pieces painted in Bristol by the London-based Roo.

It has been a very long time since this wall last had anything meaningful on it, and Roo has filled the space perfectly. Her precision and apparently simple design actually underplays her skill in creating such a tight piece. The character is bound to strike a chord with cat lovers, and the black ‘naturescape’ complements the piece nicely. Great work from Roo.

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. I met her without actually knowing who she was on the first Sunday in March by the Cumberland basin pump trail: she was painting one column while the woman with did the adjacent one. I met them at 14:00 and they were still there 2h later. Lots of stuff like stencils and paintbrushes rather than just spray cans. She’s got something up on Mina Road right now too, BTW

    1. Thanks Steven for all the background. She is a very nice lady, and visited with SkyHigh that time. I’ll have to stop by Mina Road, thanks for the tip-off.

    2. I think the lady you’re referring to is @kateelkington_art on Instagram
      I also think that the fact they were painting in the same area at the same time might have been more coincidence than planned . . .
