The turnover at Sparke Evans Park had been quite slow over the winter months, as pretty much the whole wall had been adopted as a tribute wall for Paroe and to a lesser extent Dorns. Over time new pieces emerge, but mostly as single or doubles at most out of respect for the tributes.

With the emergence of spring, and a limited number of walls available to paint, tribute walls are a luxury that have their time but yield eventually to new art. RBN One painted this awesome piece at the far right-hand end of the wall at Sparke Evans Park. His beautiful grey letters, lifted with a great 3D drop shadow, are filled with a red mid-line and grey and white reversed out spots. The dramatic yellow background with floating blocks is a perfect host for the piece. Lovely graffiti writing.

I was lucky enough to meet RBN One while he was painting this piece alongside Corupt. I couldn’t recall seeing his work before, but it turns out on closer inspection of my archives that I have seen his work, but never posted it because I didn’t know who he was. RBN One hails from the Chippenham area if I remember correctly, and comes to Bristol every once in a while.

The letters spell ‘ARBIEN’ – spoken phonetically as RBN… clever stuff. The whole thing is quite beautiful. His letters are clean and clear, filled with a variety of spots, shapes and lines. His drop shadow is flawless, and serves to lift the piece from the wall. All in all a feast for the eyes. Expect to see more here soon.
