7256. Peel Street Green (52)

Is it really November already? It is all happening too fast for my liking. Over the years, this wall has been dominated by wonderful pieces by 3Dom, and this is another one in a top class series. It is a real ‘statement’ wall which is rarely tagged or spoilt in any way, and most pieces that appear here tend to remain for quite a while, although unusually 3Dom’s last piece here was very short-lived.

In pretty much all of 3Dom’s work, there are two notable things going on, firstly, his outstanding surreal artwork and secondly a strong story or message underpinning the piece. The skull is decorated with so many interesting features and details, such as the change of colour within the pink circle, the independently patterned eyes, and the floating lower jawbone. The messages ‘unity is power’ and ‘resistance is fertile’ (an amusing corruption of the Borg’s resistance is futile from Star Trek) speak of activism and speaking truth to power. More strength to 3Dom. A fine piece of street art.
