I do love the spot up at Purdown; it serves the dual purpose being a fabulous place to walk the dog, and there can often be some surprising new street art additions on the concrete slabs at the former WWII gun emplacement. This beauty by Conrico was quite fresh, the last time I went there.
I am very much enjoying Conrico’s portrait pieces, and he is in a deep purple patch of form. This bright portrait piece shows off Conrico’s style at its best. He uses his spray can more like a brush, with short bursts used to apply layers of paint, rather than long solid fills. He is, I think, the best at this technique in Bristol, and his works look like they could easily have been painted in a studio. I love the green jacket and all the folds and shades in it. This is a masterful piece, and I like the young couple sitting above it enjoying the view over the city.

Putting the portrait to the side for a sec, that’s a wonderful photo capture. I’m glad you included the couple on top. Also, the monochromatic pieces behind the color portrait makes the front art pop.
I haven’t said so before, and it is time that I do, I’m grateful to you for these “street art” posts you make. This is something I don’t have a lot of exposure to and didn’t think too much about. You’ve opened up my appreciation. I think you have more of this in the UK, or at least more of it closer together (if that makes sense). If/when I ever get to immigrate to Edinburgh, I look forward to seeing what I can see. There, and as we make our trips around the island.
