The mini street art festival in Muriel Alleyway, organised by Rtiiika at the end of July was a triumph, giving exposure to artists whose work is rarely seen in some of the regular graffiti spots around town. Most of the artists present belong to the Bristol Mural Collective who primarily work in studios, so this event is a great opportunity for them to paint in a safe environment and for us to see their work.
This colourful shutter piece is by Esme Lower who has been doing some interesting street work this summer, not least her collaboration with Bloem a couple of weeks back. This is a bright and cheerful abstract piece with some character eyes breaking cover from the kind of flowery vista. I look forward to seeing where Esme Lower’s journey takes us.
