Creamylines

7172. New Stadium Road (60)

Creamylines, New Stadium Road, Bristol, August 2025

I noticed that while I was away on holiday, Creamylines has been posting a few videos of him painting his work about the place. I hope that now I am back I will be able to find some of them.

As ever, his work intrigues, with such a unique style that is particularly well-suited to columns, like this one under the M32. In a bit of a departure from most of his pieces, Creamylines has included a seascape into his work, giving him the opportunity to introduce a fish into his ‘stained-glass’ world. Some interesting characters and figures look on.

I was very happy to see that Creamylines dropped two pieces under Brunel Way recently, probably in the same session, one of which I posted a week or so ago, and this is the other, which was painted low to the ground on the end of a wooden skate ramp.

Once again, Creamylines has presented a colourful landscape view, with fields and hills leading up to a sky dotted with clouds and a large yellow sun. There are plenty of figures or sentinels throughout the piece, which is given a serene and natural look, courtesy of the birds in flight. A calming piece in a crazy world.

There is something about Creamylines’ work that simply seems to tick all my boxes, and I always get a little endorphin rush when I find one of his pieces, especially as they are rather infrequent. His ‘stained-glass window’ style is unlike anything else in Bristol.

The column landscape piece contains all the things you’d expect to find in one of Creamylines’ works. A landscape of hills peppered with figures, faces and eyes, topped with breaking clouds and silhouettes of birds on a rising/setting sun. What is interesting is that the artwork is quite crude, but the outcome sophisticated. This is a wonderful and uplifting piece from Creamylines.

I don’t often trek along to the Bristol to Bath cycle path gallery, maybe only twice a year, but recently was rewarded for a visit with this magnificent piece by Creamylines. It is no secret that I am a big fan of the artist and love his ‘stained-glass’ landscapes.

This work is wider than most of his pieces and there is a lot more going on, with many little figures, eyes and birds to find. In addition, he has included a green character grinning in the top right. Of course, the central focus is on the sun and sky at the top end of the landscape. There is something tranquil about the piece. Bravo.

6705. M32 Cycle path (279)

One of the most elusive artists in Bristol is Creamylines, probably due to the infrequency of his work. I haven’t yet met him, the chances of bumping in to him while he is painting is minimal, and that is a pity, because I’d love to tell him how much I admire his work.

There is always a sense of joy and optimism in Creamylines’ creations that momentarily transports one away from the troubles of daily life. His pieces resemble stained-glass windows in the way that they are segmented, with black lines separating each of the small ‘panels’ of artwork. The landscape scene takes us from the sea through hills and mountains ending with a bright sun and birds in the sky. It is almost heavenly. People and eyes are scattered throughout the piece, perhaps demonstrating our interdependence with our surroundings. How much I would love to see more of Creamylines’ uplifting work.

6506. M32 Spot (196)

I am baffled that I have posted fewer than 200 pieces from the M32 Spot – it feels like an awful lot more than that. I am very much an admirer of Creamylines’ work, and simply don’t see enough of it. His original pieces always remind me of stained-glass windows in the use of colour and the segmentation of different elements as if separated by leading.

In this column landscape/seascape/riverscape piece, Creamylines offers a bright and optimistic view of people and nature beneath a bright sun and patchy clouds. There is lots of detail, and naturally I am drawn to the fish in the middle section. There is so much to enjoy in this uplifting piece. I definitely would like to see much more from Creamylines.

There is something about the unique nature of Creamylines’ work that I find very engaging, and I am always pleased to find new work by him. This is the second column piece that I have found recently in the area, and it looks as if the artist had a mini-blitz.

Creamylines has used the background colour of the column to great effect, creating a prefect backdrop to his ‘sunlit uplands’ landscape style. All the elements of his landscape work are there, the sun and clouds, a patchwork of colour and a river running through the whole piece. Of course, he has character eyes dotted around the place too. This is a really interesting style and quite unlike anything else we see in the city.

5853. Brunel Way (257)

From the first time I saw his work, I have always liked the originality shown by Creamylines, and finding this piece on one of the columns under Brunel Way recently was a special surprise. There is a basic formula to many of Creamylines’ pieces that includes a sun with rays sitting over a landscape scene divided up by black lines.

I am always reminded of stained-glass windows when I see these pieces, for obvious reasons, and there is a calm, tranquil quality to the work – you can almost hear the cries of seagulls in the air. Another aspect of this piece is the suggested faces that emerge through the piece, adding another layer of interest. A great column piece from Creamylines.

5686. Leonard Lane (44)

The second of three pieces painted recently by Creamylines in Leonard Lane is, of course, a fabulous landscape with sun rays and clouds. The space that he has chosen to paint is quite small, and so the black lines feel a little more dominant than when he paints larger walls.

Although his work is quite formulaic, no two pieces are identical, and there is some comfort in knowing what you are going to get from Creamylines. It might be interesting to see him tackle a couple of different ideas – perhaps painting in landscape format or painting a different kind of landscape… urban, desert, forest for example. I remain a big fan of his highly original work.
