The game of hide and seek, hunting down wheatpastes from Abbie Laura Smith, continues with this moody piece on one of the skate ramps under Brunel Way. I really love this one, that offers more than her customary face portrait pieces. In this piece, the attitude and pose of the subject add so much more to the story, proving that body language makes up a large proportion of our signal communications. The drips add so much more to the ink work, creating interest. Still one or two more from this recent batch to come.

That one is indeed a little bit special . . .

I seem to have seen that artist before. Not in the UK, where I haven’t been in the while. In Paris maybe?

I am not sure that Abbie Laura Smith has pasted up any of her work i Paris. It is possible, although she is quite new to doing this. There are so many artists who adopt this technique of wheatpasting, that some might look similar or familiar. Wheatpasting is very common in places like Paris, London and New York, but less so in Bristol.

I’ll keep an eye open next time I go to Paris and let you know.
I didn’t know the name wheatpasting. I thought it was merely printer paper. But now that you mention it, it is very common in Paris. (Only been once in London in recent years, not enough to know.) Latin America uses a lot of direct painting. Not many cops around to mind anyone painting… So I figured it was a system for artists to paste and hurry away, except in some places like La Butte Aux Cailles where Street art seems to be encouraged or tolerated…
Thanks for the “tip”.

Definitely a quick getaway technique.
