A couple of weeks back, there was a superb paint jam on the M32 roundabout. I am not sure if it was to celebrate something specific, or simply a whole bunch of artists enjoying a sunny day (what are those?), but whatever it was all about, it resulted in some cracking pieces, including this meeting of styles collaboration between Mind 49 and SPZero76.
Mind 49 has been smashing it with each new piece he produces. His portrait work, often from unusual angles and with faces partially obscured is painted in a soft photorealistic style, if that makes sense. The character in this particular piece is looking away, but immediately catching the eye is the addition of a large swallow flying by, utterly unexpected, and quite brilliant. This is a wonderfully conceived piece which segues nicely to something completely different via a multicoloured strip.
The two pieces have nothing in common at all, and SPZero76’s animated comic style is not something I would expect to see adjacent to Mind 49 soft-portrait style. The multicoloured strip is the only thing that unites them. The piece entitled ‘after the robot apocalypse’ features a dog? character and a feline robot toting large weapons, in some dystopian future setting. A wonderful and lively animation piece from a truly gifted artist.

Wow, really professional pieces of art from completely different genres. Art or vandalism? What’s your view, scooj?

A really good post – it must have taken a while to assemble.
My view is inconsistent. I like what I like and will forgive it. That which I don’t like I am more critical of. Tagging is mostly annoying, and defacing private property or faith buildings a no go. That is my short answer. I could write a book on the subject though.

Coming from the home of Banksy and with the plethora of wall art around you (I know Bristol well), we look forward to the book! 👍😊✊
Go scooj !!
