7373. Brunel Way (345)

I am very fond of this little wall beside the river. It is all that remains of a small disused pump house or something, linked to the water company pumping station nearby. This piece, by Guimeujoven, has remained in my archive since July, because I couldn’t identify the artist. Thanks to Paul H, who did the detective work on this one, I now know the artist and am free to post the piece.

This is a really nice character piece worked up in four autumnal colours and so different from the kind of character pieces we are used to seeing in Bristol. The Brazilian artist is based in Exeter and I am somewhat surprised that we haven’t seen more of his work here, and a little saddened, because it is absolutely amazing… a quick glance at his Instagram feed is highly recommended. A mystery solved.
