A sleeping city

no traffic, happy birds chirp

One of the delights of street art festivals is that they introduce you to a whole bunch of artists you haven’t encountered before and new styles and ideas, which is most refreshing. This piece is by Dawn, who is a bespoke signwriter based in the Cheltenham/Gloucester area.

The sign, painted in the backyard of the Two Pigs Club, is beautifully crafted and contains all the hallmarks of a skilled sign writer. It is funny, but the cross-over from signwriting to street art is not as straightforward as one might think, but Dawn has made a great job of it here.

Urban dawn

 

Atop the rubble

that was once the GPO

pigeons greet the day.

Colours

Blue, gold and silver,

the heavenly hues of a

frosty winter dawn.
