Nice One is one of the most dynamic artists in Bristol, switching up his font writing with his portraits and landscapes. This hoarding, which he has kind of made his own, is currently hosting this magnificent winter scene, the sort of composition so rarely painted in Bristol or anywhere else for that matter.

The snow, the church, the bare trees and the milky sky offer a taste of a classic English winter landscape. The trees are particularly evocative of a cold winter’s day. The artist has included his letters Nice One in orange and only partially present, a trademark mechanism he uses. I am rather pleased that the colours of the sky in his piece are mirrored by the sky in the photograph, demonstrating the relevance and accuracy of his artwork. A winter wonderland.
