Not so long ago this wall was painted along its entire length at a paint jam celebrating Ulow’s birthday. Remnants of that paint jam still remain, but this section was re-painted by its original occupants Hypo and Minto, with a double-helping of the latter.
To the left, Minto has painted one of his wonderful ‘reconstruction’ style pieces featuring his MINTO letters and a nicely worked character in the centre. The predominant blue colour selection blends well with the blue buffed background. He has created a sense of movement with the stars and lines bursting out from the sides of the letters.
Next to his writing, Minto has ‘pimped’ his original Ulow celebration piece, which had been dogged by a bomber. He has managed to salvage some parts of the original and added to it in a rather delightful way, incorporating some of the artwork from the bomber. Both before and after shots are above.
To the right is yet another outstanding Hypo piece, majestically filled with a spectrum of colours and diligently decorated with little spheres. The flatness of the letters has been transformed by the skilful use of white highlight lines that create the illusion of depth and a ‘rounding’ of each letter. Superb stuff.
