My last trip under the M32 alongside the canalised River Frome was a rather fruitful one, and this piece from Solar was one of the rewards for the marginally treacherous scramble down. Solar is an artist whose work has shown steady progression over the years, and he is turning out some superb writing that touches on anti-style.
Although it is difficult to provide a scale to this piece, I can tell you that it is very large. The height of it is about 7-8ft, so if you imagine the artist spraying the top at full stretch, you can get a sense of it. The irregular letters spell SOLAR and are painted on a grey background, which mimics the natural colour of the concrete. There is a fabulous two-tone orange fill, with the lighter colour running through the middle of the letters creating some depth. The piece is rounded off with a clean white border and some light blue spots for decoration. A classy piece from Solar.
