216. Stokes Croft, the Carriageworks (9)
This beguiling piece by Tom Miller appeared last weekend and has already now been painted over, and even when I took this picture a day after it was completed, it had already been tagged. I love Miller’s work, but I have reservations about this one. There is something in me that is slightly uncomfortable about using street art used to promote anything, even your own exhibition.
I have many pictures of street art in Bristol which promote night clubs or special evenings of music etc, but I don’t post about them. They are deliberately ephemeral and are usually not quite up to the standard of other work. There is less love about them…they become perfunctory.
This I think is a case in point. Miller’s work is usually of such a high standard, and this feels just a little bit rushed. I look forward to seeing the gallery, but look forward more to seeing a more considered Tom Miller piece in the near future. Does that sound harsh?
115. Raleigh Road, Tobacco Factory (1)
The Tobacco Factory is a fabulous multi-use centre in Bedminster, Bristol. It was saved from demolition by George Ferguson, currently the Mayor of Bristol, and forms a central hub for urban regeneration in the area and is something of a cultural magnet.
The car park has been one of the spaces opened up during the Upfest street art festivals, indeed it more resembles an outdoor gallery than a car park.
This striking piece is by Anat Ronen and was painted as part of the 2015 festival. Anat is a self-taught artist based in Houston who started painting as a way of life only in 2009. Her work is beautiful and I would recommend a visit to her website.
