What a lovely, crisp and up-beat piece this is in the tunnel by Donz. I think it was painted during a mini-paint jam for his own birthday celebrations. Looking at his Instagram feed, it would appear that Donz wasn’t too happy with the piece as it was painted using up cans, or a ‘dregs’ piece.

Knowing that information, you can see that there is a slightly chaotic colour scheme, the bottom half of which really doesn’t connect with the top half. The top is nice and clean but the mix of colours below is a little untidy, and probably why Donz felt this wasn’t his best work. The little figures around the writing are by Posh who painted alongside Donz during the paint jam.

I might have to do a round up of Klashwhensober’s work soon to mop up several unpublished pieces by the artist from the summer. He is so prolific, I would struggle to post each of his pieces separately. This one under Brunel Way is deserving of an individual post though.

The colour selection for each of the letters might indicate that this is a dregs piece, using up half-empty cans, something you see quite a lot of. Each letter from the word SOBER has an element of depth, created by shading either side of a ridge line. The ‘O’ in particular has an anamorphic quality to it. This is a nicely worked piece from Klashwhensober. He might have left the spot a little tidier after painting though.

Just a quick write up of a quick ‘dregs’ piece by Mr Klue. I guess that one of the advantages of being an abstract writer is that it is easier to do a ‘dregs’ piece without it being recognisably so. Some artists use up their dregs to quite disastrous results, but other than being a bit small, this one by Mr Klue has turned out just fine.

Sometimes his letters can be so disguised, that they are invisible, but in this one it is possible to make out KLUE. Unsurprisingly the colours are Mr Klue’s favoured one’s, but of course that would be the case, if he was using up old spray cans.
