7209. Frome Side (56)

I don’t know if I am imagining things, but Mesk appears to have upped his game significantly in recent months, with each piece being classier than the last. Maybe he has always been this amazing and I just haven’t latched on to it, but I have now, and this one in Frome Side is a belter.

His letters are bounded with a strong yellow border which contains coloured fills running in horizontal strips in warm tones running from light to dark to light, creating an almost kaleidoscopic effect. Adding to the overall blast of visual excitement, Mesk has painted a vibrant blue stripy drop shadow, that creates a ‘blockiness’ to the whole piece. Very nice work indeed.
