573. The Bearpit (32)

At the end of the south tunnel of The Bearpit is this fabulous festive collaboration between Mr Klue on the left and Decay on the right. This is a colourful coming together of two of Bristol’s best abstract graffiti artists, whose styles are markedly different  but which somehow works really well.

The colour schemes aren’t matching, and the angular shapes of Mr Klue  seem to be at odds with the curvy concentric rings typical of Decay, but as a whole it works, probably because the very fact that it is a collaboration offers a relationship between the pieces and even more so the artists.

An outpouring of Christmas cheer from two of my favourites. Perfect.

Why the long face?

 

That Friday feeling

but now it’s time to cheer up

Christmas Eve beckons.

Surviving Christmas

 

Christmas cheer, not here;

children break for holidays…

Christmas booze more like.

*Not really – pretty excited about it all. Just wanted to have some fun with words.

The Christmas tree is dead, long-live the Christmas tree.

 

Trees of Christmas past

bannish the chill invasion

and with their heat, rule.

123. North Street, Standard (1)

This seasonal piece by Cheo is quite a contrast from its political predecessor that adorned this wall during Upfest 2015. I am constantly excited by the range of subjects and styles that the street art scene is capable of producing in Bristol.

This is a cheerful and fun cartoonesque piece so typical of Cheo who must be one of Bristol’s most prolific artists. I will try to dig out the piece that was on this same wall before. Watch this space.

All togged up for a

Unloved posessions
