Today’s post is significant for two reasons. Firstly it marks the welcome return of Nightwayss to Bristol after a couple of years spent away from the city, and secondly, it was his post on Instagram that alerted me to the three long hoardings in Fishponds of which this is one. The magnificent piece reminds me of what we have been missing during the artist’s absence.
A peacock in all its splendour is joined by three signature monkeys (I have missed the monkeys) that appear in most of Nightwayss’ work. The peacock is a fabulous bird to paint because of its iconic feathers and colouring, but it is the head with the little crown feathers that wins the day for me. I sincerely hope that this is the first of many new works by Nightwayss, who has been much missed in the city.
