6238. Cumberland Basin

A rare trip into the centre of Bristol, from his native Lawrence Weston, brought Donz to this spot in the Cumberland Basin. At first I had a little difficulty working what was going on here, because Donz has painted directly over a Mr Draws piece, without buffing the wall or masking out with a background design, in the spirit of a throwie, but this is better than your average throw up.

Donz has a very particular style, probably governed by his letter in part, where his letter surfaces are quite flat, without midlines or accents, and the depth is provided by the 3D drop shadow. This piece reminds me very much of one he painted about a year ago in L Dub, which used the same colour combination.
