7343. Cumberland Basin

I was lucky enough to meet 2Face when he was painting a piece in Dean Lane some months ago, and at the time I think I was expecting to see more of his work about the place. As it happens, this is only the second one I have found, so either he doesn’t paint all that often, or I simply haven’t found his pieces.

These richly decorated letters spell out FACEY in nicely formed shapes with plenty of space for playing with the fills. The palette spans several colours, but it is the eye-catching pink organic looking threads that stand out to me. I think that the bright upper surface of the letters is a little overpowering and unbalances the piece slightly, perhaps dialling it back a bit might’ve worked better. Great to see more from this writer.
