A little bit out of the way, but well worth the extra walk is this wonderful piece by 3rdeye, a Bristol artist whose work crops up from time to time around the city. The fact that this is a new wall for Upfest 2024, gives us an element of certainty that it will remain intact for some while, unlike some of his street pieces that exist for all too short a time.
This is a beautifully clean and well designed piece featuring one of his monster characters, set in a woodland landscape (a tree and a toadstool) with a blazing sun beating down (if only). There are lots of eyes (I guess the artist’s name betrays his obsession with eyes) surrounding the character, and a couple of abstract triangle things, of which the one on the left looks a little bit like a traffic sign, which once seen in that way can’t be unseen (sorry). This is a lovely piece, typical of 3rdeye’s quirky ideas.
