Another mural by Cheo, that I have never really paid too much attention to, despite seeing it frequently.
This piece, which includes his signature bees, can be found on the end wall of the garages, at the entrance to the station. It is a cheerful, rural theme.
Relic from Earth’s youth
bathing in afternoon sun.
Fleeting adulthood.

Am I alone in
being incensed by human
excrement on rails?

Floret furnaces
laid out in regular rows
bursting with pollen.

Here my breathing slows
until no air passes through;
place and mind are one.

I sat in this overgrown corner of my allotment doing a butterfly survey this afternoon. My heart rate slowed and I caught myself not even breathing. So calm and peaceful.
Such vibrant colour
lost in verdant foliage;
perfect camouflage.

A mermaid and fawn;
resident grotesques adorn

There are two murals that appear to have been commissioned to celebrate the ‘Grand Appeal’, a charity that raises funds for Bristol Children’s Hospital. One of them dates back to 2013 and the Gromit Unleashed trail, the second, and very recent mural, links up with the Shaun in the City trail. They can be seen on Broad Quay next to the Radisson Blu Hotel.
The murals are by Cheo, a Bristol street artist whose trademark is a cartoon bumblebee that appears on most of his work. Cheo started in earnest in the 1980s and was clearly an emerging talent who won several prizes and awards as a youngster.
I am slowly becoming a fan of the cartoon style and admire the work of yet another Bristol-based street artist.

Three ladies in black;
has the Summer come to this?
or did someone die?
