He doesn’t paint all that often these days, but when he does, Turoe certainly packs a punch. The gorgeous chrome letters spell out KATOE, which are set on a perfectly contrasting red background. But that isn’t enough for Turoe… he has created a wall through which the writing bursts. Imagine how the piece might look without the ‘stone wall’ artwork, it would feel altogether more ordinary.

I am not too sure who Katoe is or what the shout-out is all about, but I love the way that the street art scene works, with artists recognising one another and paying tribute to friends and loved ones. As ever, a really classy piece from Turoe.
