7621. M32 roundabout J2 (21)

I don’t think that John D’oh seems to have any intention of slowing down on his magnificent outdoor gallery underneath the M32. He appears to be adding new pieces on a regular basis, and I have to say that I am thoroughly enjoying this rich vein of form from the stencil artist.

There is a lot of symbolism in this piece, although I can’t quite figure out the narrative. A strong woman in ancient classical clothing is standing confidently with a raised clenched fist. Behind her is a broken chain and an olive branch. The chain suggests human bondage, and the olive branch, peace. I am guessing that this is a piece of resistance during war, but that is my take on it. So much more still to come from this outdoor gallery.
