One of the most enjoyable things about Kid Krishna’s work is that he has breathed a little bit of life back into Stokes Croft. Over the years, gentrification of the area has led to a decline in available graffiti walls and a commensurate dwindling interest in spray-painting in the area. Not Kid Krishna though, he seems to favour Stokes Croft, and that is a good thing.

This piece perfectly illustrates Kid Krishna’s style of long straight letters on a single colour background. I still find his cryptic writing very difficult to read, but I am sure the penny will drop one day. I am guessing that this says KRISHNA, and I can see elements of those letters, but who knows? More to come from this relatively new-to-Bristol artist.

I rarely venture down ‘crack alley’ these days, as I don’t walk into the office often, since lockdown, meaning that there are some spots that I have neglected. This nice one from Kid Krishna is at the top end of the alley where it opens out into Stokes Croft.

Kid Krishna’s style is fairly unique, and it is not difficult to identify his work. His letters are slim and closely packed, and I am still getting my ‘eye in’ with regard to what his writing says. He has worked a nice transition from orange to light blue, two colours that aren’t natural bedfellows, but it seems to work here. I have many more pieces from Kid Krishna to share… watch this space.

Often associated with Face 1st, Moon Street has a new kid on the block in the shape of Kid Krishna, whose work has been appearing all over Bristol over recent months. This is the first of his pieces to appear on Natural Adventures and highly unlikely to be his last.

Kid Krishna’s writing is very distinctive, with long thin letters, looking like planks of wood stacked in a pile. I believe the letters spell out KRISHNA, but I could be mistaken, such is the disguise. Expect to see a whole lot. Ore from the artist in this blog, I already have a considerable back-catalogue of his work in my archive. Definitely something creative and different.
